Objectives
This course offers a detailed approach to learning aerospace quality management systems auditing.
- This 40-hour (5 day) training follows the processes of an AQMS audit of an aviation, space and defense (ASD) maintenance facility, from Preparation and Evaluation to Reporting and Corrective Action. While the course concentrates primarily on external audits, such as third-party and supplier audits, the information is easily adaptable to internal audits. Practical workshops, case studies, and simulated assessments are used to practice new skills and techniques. A two hour written examination is conducted at the end of the course.
This course is intended for the auditor who wants to become an AS9110 auditor and has not successfully completed a QMS (ISO 9001-based) auditor training course approved by a training provider approval body. This course is also intended for auditors who wish to enhance auditing skills and facilitate growth as an auditor.
This is a highly participative course that provides comprehensive instruction on auditing ASD quality management systems (AQMS). The course content covers a broad range of ASD information relating to auditing activities. It includes an expanded discussion on the AS9110B standard, the AS9101D standard, ISO 19011:2011 and the requirements of the AS9104 trilogy.
