WHAT IS IT?
AS9100 fully incorporates the entirety of the current version of ISO9001; while adding requirements relating to quality and safety in the aviation, space, and defense industry. Major aviation, space, and defense manufacturers and suppliers worldwide require compliance and/or registration to AS9100 as a condition of doing business with them.
 

In this training, participants will gain the knowledge and skills they need to audit your company’s quality system to the AS9100 standard, the requirements, auditing principles, how to establish an audit program, gather objective evidence, and prepare audit conclusions. In addition to the lecture, participants will get to do experiential activities and gain hands-on auditing practice. There will be ample time throughout the training for questions and answers.

• Explain the purposes of the AS9100 standard.
• Describe the structure and elements of AS9100.
• Describe the changes included in AS9100 updates.
