The course

Training-on-the-job consists of one on one training, but courses in small groups are also possible. Our trainers train your employees in their own working environment. The program is fully tailored to the product within your own business process and based on regulations, customer and product specifications.

Each training starts with refreshing or imparting the basic knowledge. Having determined the level of knowledge. Having determined the level of knowledge, the practical knowledge is further increased and enhanced with your selected products.

A record of the sessions and test moments is kept by the trainer. For a successfully completed product session the Quality Controller receives a certificate of participation.

The training sessions

During a five hours session, the three main components are discussed; theory, practice and a test moment. An average of one session per product is sufficient. The list of products and related practice-oriented sessions will be sent on request.

The trainers

Our team consists of trainers and instructors with decades of theoretical and practical experience. The trainers are also teachers for the Quality Controller modules, also known as the A and P modules. A trainer will be selected, who suits your company and product groups perfectly.
