The Level 7 Award in "Quality Technology for Engineering Industries" gives participants a
sense of mastery in using statistical techniques for day-to-day process
optimisation. Learners gain an understanding of fundamental
quality principles and become autonomous to select and apply an array of useful
data analytics tools and statistics for the purpose of continuous
improvement.
Course content is
integrated with real-world data to
problem-solve for their own workplace.
This
blend of expert tuition, practical tasks, and self-directed learning ensures a
‘high impact learning’ experience. The
course is entirely on-line so easy to fit around busy work schedules with self-paced content and evening class tuition.
