The QC Group offering of seminars continues to grow in public recognition and popularity. So far in 2009, seminars have been held in 12 states as a result of the broad interest in quality-related training. Jann Henkes, Training Coordinator at the QC Group, acknowledges that, “early on we saw a lot of cross training and re-training due to companies downsizing, but now there’s interest across a broad-base of industries as companies gear up for the future.”
The QC Group’s top 10 most-attended seminars in 2009 are:
1. Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing
2. Basic SPC
3. Gage Calibration Methods
4. Quality 101
5. Basic Dimensional Measurement Tools
6. Blueprint Reading
7. OHSAS 18001 Lead Auditor
8. ISO 9001:2008 Certified Lead Auditor
9. ISO 9001:2008 Certified Internal Auditor
10. CMM Programmer Training
Jann adds, “Part of the interest in our growth is our money-back guarantee, which only has had to be refunded once in the last 3 years.” I suppose the fact that all of QC’s instructors are required to have hands-on real-world experience in the subject matter contributes to the success rate as well.
