QualityAdvantage provides the best quality training, mentoring and facilitation available.  Here's why...
 

	We provide education to support many ISO-based quality and environmental standards... ISO 9001, ISO/TS 16949, ISO 17025, ISO 13485, ISO 14001, AS 9100, ISO 27001.
	Your people have no travel costs, no time off-site.  Why travel to the training, when we bring the training to you?
	Training via videoconference?  QualityAdvantage offers this approach, at reduced cost!
	For adults, training is often "use it or lose it"... education is knowledge that lasts.  The QualityAdvantage?  RESULTS!
	No boring lectures or endless talk...  we know adults "learn by doing."  Our training is highly interactive, hands-on, team-based, and loaded with participation.
	We utilize examples and problems from your business in our training, not made-up examples that are just not relevant.
	We don't believe one-size-fits-all, cookie-cutter training solutions are effective.  You can get those elsewhere!
	If you choose, we provide optional pre-exams and post-exams, for proof of training effectiveness, an ISO-based QMS requirement.
	We provide training certificates, as proof of education, and training credit, as applicable.
	We're ready when you are!  We work to your schedule, not ours.  Weekend training?  No problem for us.
	Small classes or large classes... no problem with us.  We provide training unique to your needs.
	Our training is always offered with No-Nonsense pricing, all expenses included, anywhere in the USA.

QualityAdvantage most popular training and facilitation includes

Internal Quality Auditing by Process

Our very popular two-day or three-day course includes extensive simulation and interactive participation.  We show you how to audit by process, not necessarily by procedure.  We simulate the entire audit process, from planning through verification.  Our course is highly interactive, not just a lecture.  We assure your auditors know your quality system to audit it effectively.  We provide testing, if you require objective evidence of training effectiveness.

Automotive customers frequently require "Core Tools" training among their customer-specific requirements for ISO/TS 16949 registration.  Core Tools may require
 

	APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning)
	PPAP (Production Part Approval Process)
	FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis),
	SPC (Statistical Process Control) and Problem Solving)
	MSA (Measurement Systems Analysis)

Requirements vary by customer.  We provide on-site, hands-on Core Tools training based on your quality management system.  We use examples from your workplace to educate your organization to use the tools.  We emphasize training in areas where your organization requires most help.  Our Core Tools training is practical and immediately useful to meet your customer's needs.  Everything we provide meets one or more ISO/TS 16949 quality management system requirements.

Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T)

We offer both Level 1 Basic and Level 2 Advanced courses.

GD&T is an effective language used to communicate design requirements.  However, GD & T is only effective when understood properly by everyone in the organization affected by the design.
 
Our training empowers your organization to correctly interpret and apply datums, as well as profile, position, and all other geometric symbols, as defined per the ASME Y14.5M-1994 standard.

We believe in "learn by doing."  We encourage you to supply your design data for use in discussion during our class.

We provide a wide variety of skills training and facilitation in the tools supporting a Quality Management System, as required by most ISO-based quality systems standards.  Our skills training and facilitation includes
 

	Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP)
	ISO 27001 Information Security Standard Overview for Management
	Problem Solving and Statistical Process Control (SPC)
	Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA) including repeatability and reproducibility
	Blueprint Reading
	Measurement Uncertainty Budget training and calculation, to meet the requirements of ISO 17025 for laboratory accreditation
	Continual/Continuous Improvement Methods
