Introduction E-learnings We offer online training courses that can be followed using

purchased credits. The credit system gives you complete control

over how you implement the training program. You purchase

training credits that can be used to assign any of the courses to

your learners.

In the online training portal, we differentiate Master Courses,

Overview Courses and Targeted Courses. Master Courses provide

in-depth training on a topic and cost 1 credit per learner per course.

The Overview Courses provide high-level introduction to the

topic/terminology and the Targeted Courses have a practical

approach on a narrow topic (both 0.5 credit each).

FMEA is a critical element in every APQP process and well

represented within the E-learning portfolio. We provide two

introducing Overview Courses and seven Master Courses. Read
