Why QSI for Training?

QSI remains one of the most highly requested training providers in the industry. Why? Our instructors have years of industry experience and Exemplar Global and IRCA certifications. Because of our consulting experience, we are able to tailor training courses to multiple audiences, no matter your industry standard or specification.

QSI recognizes that a successful training program uses trainers with expertise in both technical content and the ability to effectively facilitate a learning environment. Most organizations select trainers with expertise in either one or the other – we train our instructors to be effective at delivering both.

Hear directly from the experts the necessary information in order to implement and audit a sound quality management system.

“QSI has a very interesting and educational training program. My experience here at QSI was very good. The instructor did an excellent job. The course made me aware of a lot of things that I wasn’t aware of in the past.”

– Reshe Ramchandra, Quality Assurance Manager
