I liked that the examples used in the presentations were actual situations that a 8D or 5P were done.

I . . . have received more “chair time” in educational/continuing ed classes than I care to count. Rarely have I scored a class this high. . . . The instructor was thorough in his explanations and at the same time not too redundant. The visual aids were excellent and the handouts provided will be put to good use at our facility. I was NOT disappointed. Looking forward to future classes from FSQC. . . .

This course helped me understand CAPA and root cause analysis with new and interesting perspective. The examples were very well selected to help understand the course. . . .
