Course Objectives

3-day (26 hour) course that provides detailed information and promotes discussion on a wide variety of Aviation, Space and Defense (ASD) topics as defined by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG). Participative workshops and situations for review and discussion are used to develop an understanding of the material and requirements. The course concludes with a one-hour examination on the last day.

Course topics and requirements are industry criteria and are independent of the revision of the standard. To assist with understanding instructors will reference the requirements of AS9100D as applicable to the industry criteria.

• To aid in understanding and gain maximum benefit an attendee should already be familiar with the AS9100 Rev D standard.
