Why This IATF 16949 Internal Audit Training Course is Different
E&M Design Solutions provides a live instructor—either online or in person. This allows for the feedback gained when going to an in-person class without all the travel and expense. This class is divided into several parts so the attendee can still work their regular job in between classes. This class will give you enough information about the IATF requirements so that you fully understand the requirements and, where needed, apply your new knowledge to implement the IATF standard in the workplace.
