AS9100 IAQG Sanctioned Aerospace Auditor Training (AATT)

Required: The online modules identified as required must be completed prior to attending the instructor-led training.

Optional: The online modules identified as optional are highly-recommended, but not required. In the case of Trial Assessment Scenario 2, participants are encouraged to wait until the instructor-led training portion of the AATT (day 3) is completed before attempting this module.

ISO 9001:2015 Pre-Assessment (Required)

Evaluation to assess the trainees’ knowledge of specific changes in the ISO 9001:2015 standard. You are required to achieve an overall score of 80% to pass this assessment. This assessment is divided into two sections:

• Knowledge Questions (50 questions)
• Short Scenario Questions (6 scenarios, 12 questions)

Foundations: Understanding 9100 Online Training (Required)

This is a prerequisite to attend the Aerospace Auditor Transition Training (AATT) and will help you develop the following competencies:

• Understanding the relationship of standards published under the IAQG umbrella.
• Understanding the hierarchy of authority’s requirements and applicable advisory material, where to obtain additional information, and how to incorporate authority’s requirements into the AQMS audit activities.
• Describing the IAQG 9104/sector scheme requirements for AQMS certification/registration programs
• Describing the auditor approval requirements (as defined in 9104-3:2007)
• Locating the OASIS database and describing its function
• Explaining the intent and requirement of each clause/subclause of 9100:2016
• Identifying the audit evidence required to demonstrate conformity to 9100:2016 requirements
• Describing the documentation required by 9100:2016

9100 Forms and Audit Reporting Training (Required)

The purpose of this training is to address the requirements of 9100:2016, in the context of a third-party audit, considering the use of 9101:2016 forms and the conformity with 9101:2016 requirements.

Trial Assessment Scenario 1 and 2 & Review (Optional)

Each Trial Assessment scenario consists of a single 20-minute scenario, with three question screens, that asks you to evaluate audit evidence and make decisions based on your understanding of 9100:2016 and your ability to use the 9101:2016 forms. Once you complete the scenario, you will be taken to the Trial Assessment Scenario Review module, where the correct answers will be explained along with the rationale.

REQUIREMENTS FOR SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION

Successful completion of the 9100 AATT requires that you achieve a passing score on both the Knowledge and Application Examination.

Knowledge Examination: 

The 9100/9101 Knowledge Examination is 1.5 hours in length and has sixty multiple-choice questions. Failure to achieve this score will require a full knowledge retake on the online platform. This retake must be completed in a proctored environment.

Failure to achieve the required score on the Knowledge Examination will require a full knowledge retake.

Application Examination: 

Your score for the application section is the combined result of your online application exam (2 hours), interview, and the continuous evaluation during the training class (which includes written reports and oral communication of conclusions regarding the case study material). If the auditor score is:

• Equal or Greater than 80%: Auditor pass.
• Between 60%and 79%: Auditor needs to apply to the 9100 Application Retake.
• Below 60%: Auditor needs to re-attempt the full 9100 AATT. A full re-attempt requires that the auditor re-purchase and complete the 9100 Online Component, and attend a new four-day 9100 AATT Instructor-Led Session offered by any approved AATT Training Provider.

The online application retake is 2 hours in length and follows the same structure of the final application examination on the 4th day of the training. This retake must be completed in a proctored environment. If the score is lower than 80%, another retake can be done, up to a maximum of two times. Two failures on the application retake will require applying to the entire four-day training again.

CERTIFICATES

Those who pass will receive a certificate of successful completion that satisfies the Foundations training course requirement for AA/AEA authentication through an approved AAB.

Prerequisites

There are no required prerequisites.  This course is routinely taught to quality novices and lifetime professionals. All attendees are required to bring their own copy of the AS9100:2016 Rev D Quality Management Standard Requirements for this training course. These will not be provided for you. We strongly advise you bring a “paper” copy.

Course Objectives

• Prepared to conduct a solo internal audit at successful course completion

Maximizing the ROI from your Quality Management System

1-day Managment Training

Days: 1

Schedule: 7:30-4:30 daily

Overview 

A Quality Management System is NOT a cost of doing business.  It’s an investment.  And top management should expect to get a financial return on that investment.  However, the Return On Investment (ROI) they receive will be greatly impacted by the level of leadership and commitment they provide concerning the management system.

The newest versions of most ISO management standards have amplified the requirements for top management, in accordance with ISO 9001:2015.  In this highly interactive course, senior managers will learn how to fulfill their new responsibilities, take accountability, and maximize the ROI they get from their management systems.

Who Should Attend

AS9102 First Article Inspection

The aviation, space, and defense industry established the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG).  The IAQG strives to improve quality and safety while reducing cost throughout the value stream. The AS9102 First Article Inspection standard applies to the complete value stream.

The FAI process requirements are used at all levels of the supply chain by organizations around the world.  This standard provides a consistent process and documentation requirements for verification of aviation, space, and defense product.

Its use should result in improved:
a) quality, b) schedule, and c) cost performance by:
the reduction or elimination of organization-unique requirements and wider application of good practices.

An FAI is intended to:
•Reduce future escapes, risks, and total costs.
•Help ensure safety of flight.
•Improve quality, delivery, and customer satisfaction.
•Reduce costs and production delays associated with product nonconformances.
•Identify product realization processes that are not capable of producing a conforming product, and
•Initiate and/or validate corrective actions.

AS9100 Overview

This course is designed for managers and executives that need to understand the requirements of AS9100 and the implications for their organizations.

Learn what AS9100 registration means for your organization and how to implement it to your AS9100 Rev D QMS to gain a competitive advantage.

Many organizations are introduced to management systems because they are forced to consider ISO certification.  This overview shows how system development can happen in many different ways, but the best approach is to investigate your existing processes and system and align them with your business objectives.

As leaders, Top Managers need to be stakeholders in the achievement of the Quality Management System, accountable for its effectiveness and engage the company in achieving the intended results of the QMS – among other requirements. Every organization is different, so we customize every executive overview to incorporate top management’s particular learning and system development objectives.
