Course overview
The objective of this 2-day practical and ‘hands-on’ AS9102 course and workshop is to explain the requirements of AS9102:2014 (BS EN 9102:2015) Aerospace first article inspection and empower participants to –
complete the associated AS9102:2014 forms correctly through practical illustrations
undertake and document first article inspection in the correct manner
undertake internal and supplier audits/evaluations of the FAI documents and FAIR process
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 whole of Day-2.
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 whole of Day-2.

TEC's tutors are all experienced in the creation and auditing of FAIRs with many years’ experience in the aerospace industry.
The ‘hands-on’ FAIR workshops require that the organization make available several FAIRs for the class to audit. Wherever possible the FAIRs should include the organization’s own and FAIRs received from their suppliers.
Who should attend
This practical and interactive 2-day 'hands-on' training session and workshop is intended for a broad audience of quality engineers, quality professionals, inspectors, manufacturing engineers/managers, internal auditors and other staff who have to undertake and document a FAIR (First Article Inspection Report) in conformance with AS9102:2014 (BS EN 999102:2015) - including customer-specific requirements.
This is a TEC "Practitioner" course – consequently it incorporates "train-the-trainer".
