The Core Tools Certification Training (APQP, Control Plan, FMEA, SPC, MSA and PPAP) is a 5 day course covering all the core tools using a "learn by doing" teaching approach. After short teach points delegates practice the use of the tools using case studies and delegate exercises. Delegates passing the application exam at the end of the course receive certification from SMMT, the IATF approved oversight office in the UK.
APQP and Control Plan is module one of the Core Tools Certification Training programme. This module can be completed as a standalone course or as part of the full Core Tools Certification Training.
Failure Modes and Effects Analysis, (FMEA), is an analytical method to ensure potential problems have been considered, assessed for risk and actioned as part of both product and process design. It provides a record of an organisations collective knowledge about products and processes. It is widely used in many industrial sectors such as automotive, aerospace, renewable energy and mobile power generation.
Statistical Process Control, (SPC), is a method for gaining an understanding of the types of variation within a process and hence guide actions to either control or reduce this variation. It is used in many industrial sectors such as automotive, aerospace, renewable energy and mobile power generation.
Measurement System Analysis, (MSA), is a method for gaining an understanding of the variation present in measuring systems. It is now widely used in many industrial sectors such as automotive, aerospace, renewable energy and mobile power generation, when a high level of confidence is required for the measurement of product characteristics.
Production Part Approval Process, (PPAP), is a method of demonstrating a product or process is production ready. The method was developed by the North American Automotive Industry and is now widely used in many industrial sectors such as automotive, aerospace, renewable energy and mobile power generation.
The AIAG/VDA Combined FMEA Awareness Training (1 day) course is designed to take delegates through the 7 Step Approach to the construction, scoring and evaluation of risk (high, medium, low). The joint publication is the collaboration between AIAG/VDA, OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers. The text has been completely rewritten, and the FMEA method has been revised in a few key areas.

The Core Tools Fundamentals e-course focuses on the Core Tools which are the foundation of most automotive manufacturers and supplier’s quality management systems.
This course is part of the "IATF 16949 Auditing Programme" which is a collection of courses made up of 'bite-sized' online modules aimed at anyone looking to gain a greater understanding and awareness of IATF Auditing.
Consistently IATF highlights Problem Solving as the most common nonconformity. There are plenty of steps your organisation can take to enhance its problem-solving capabilities and in an IATF 16949-compliant manner.
