Course overview
Counterfeiting has a long and ignoble history, ranging from art and literature to manufactured goods. Unlike other industries, counterfeiting in the aerospace, automotive and defence industries may have life or death consequences.
Although it is clear that counterfeit parts do enter the industrial supply chain, the time and place of their entry is unpredictable. Managing this uncertainty has become more important due to the recent rise in the incidence of counterfeit reporting.
counterfeit parts pose a clear and present danger to organizations, their customers and the end-user of products – organizations need to be empowered to meet the challenge by taking preventive action now!
This e-Learning Course covers in detail everything that is needed to develop, document and implement/audit conforming processes to address the requirements for the prevention of counterfeit parts contained in these standards/guidance documents –

AS13100
IATF 16949
AS5553C
ARP6328
AS6174A
IEC TS 62668-1
Def Stan 05-135
A combination of quizzes, tests and personal assignments are used to ensure understanding of the principles and practices involved.
included are downloadable ‘templates’ (in English) to provide the basis of customizable documents/spreadsheets for immediate use
The objective is to qualify practitioners who will be ‘subject experts’ able to design, document, deploy and audit an effective system for counterfeit parts prevention.

Qualifications & benefits
The benefits of e-Learning (on-line training) are numerous; not only are they extremely cost-effective but they provide students with convenience and flexibility as they embark on their learning journey. Learners can complete their training whenever and wherever they want, at their own pace and on any device.
knowledge and skills are tested/practiced at each stage
Companies do not have to tie-up entire teams at the same time as is the case with conventional classroom-based or on-line training.
The course is delivered as a personal online e-Learning module via TEC's learning management system (LMS) platform.
