Introduction
Being able to support an in-depth understanding of non-conformities within the CAR 145 & CAR M Environment is part of the mission.
Being able to clearly explain the exposure to service providers and business area owners and post holders is an essential attribute of an effective Quality Assurance Auditor.
Our Detailed Auditing Techniques Training Masterclass’ techniques may be applied in any audit situation including management system processes, determining the effectiveness of existing or client quality & safety audit systems.
The training is extremely effective and is suitable for both regulatory authorities as well as industry. Have you ever wondered how it is that accident investigators understand all the shortfalls and exposures – but after an accident or incident. It is possible to audit at this level before an accident.
This course is highly interactive with all delegates having the opportunity to fully engage to consider best practice techniques related to both auditing techniques and compliance oversight methodology.
Auditing is either a tick the box exercise to keep the regulatory authority at bay or Auditing is a powerful tool for establishing the effectiveness of an organisation. (Incidentally we teach the latter)
