This turn key training program is designed to deliver a dynamic, fast paced, high participation learning experience in 14 hours of classroom time. Designed for shop floor and supervisory staff, it features video, narrated full screen slide shows, computerized process simulations, skill-checks, exercises, instructors notes, color overheads, student workbooks and solutions. It takes students through all the SPC and Improvement techniques in 9 sessions of 1.5 hours each for a total of 14 classroom hours. One half of the classroom time is in active participation by the learners.

After 15 years of consulting and training thousands, the engineers at Qualitran have put together this dynamite package that will not only save you time and money, but will develop enthusiastic momentum for Statistical Process Control and continuous improvement . The program is so full of variety and impact that the U.S. Navy has made it part of their Fleet Combat Training.

While other training programs promise to deliver with boring hour-long videos or cartoon-based overheads, Qualitran's program combines four types of media to ensure that attention span stays high and that learning occurs. Our philosophy is that fully 50% of classroom time should be devoted to the students actually DOING things. Why? Because people learn by doing. The next most important aspects are SHOW & TELL. Our visuals are simple yet sophisticated. We leave the cartoons out and present information concisely with a variety of media. The instructor is coached with point-form notes that include timings to the minute. Virtually anyone can train with this package. We guarantee it. See for yourself. Order the training kit today.
