Course overview

The objective of this 2-day practical AS9102 course and workshop is to explain the requirements of AS9102:2023 First Article inspection Requirements and empower participants to –

  • conform to the updated requirements for FAI planning

  • complete the associated AS9102:2023 forms correctly through practical illustrations

  • understand the role of FAI in APQP & PPAP

  • undertake and document first article inspection in the correct manner

All participants attending the ‘public courses’ are requested to bring along at least one FAIR (either one they have submitted to a customer and/or one received from a supplier). These documents will be used to support the FAIR workshops.

For ‘on-site courses’, we will require six FAIRs (either ones they have submitted to a customer and/or ones received from a supplier). These documents will be used to support the FAIR workshops.
