On the road again . . .  this time our client in Jersey Village hosted the Training Class for participants from three companies.  Class participation made the day fly by.  Check out some comments:
 
“Great explanation of the framework of ISO 9001:2015.  Had fun all day.  Workshop was a great overview and introduction to ISO 9001.”
 
“Learned about continual improvement, organization documentation, analysis and evaluation, process approach and evidence-based decision making.”
 
“I understand why ISO is important and why we need to use it.  I had fun when we used the cars to understand the concepts of ISO.  It was easier to understand.  Today my ISO training was fast but very good in understanding how important ISO is to have at our job.”
 
“Better understanding of the ISO process.  Good day.  Good experience.  Liked the focus on QMS processes and Section 8: Operations.”
 
“Learned different ways of looking at clauses.  A lot of good knowledge passed on concisely.”
 
“Learned about Annex SL and what it is.  Mind map – nice examples.  Had fun using the cars for examples; discussions on actual examples with current situations.  A lot of information in one day!  Trying the remember the musts vs should/mays.  I enjoyed talking through the different areas again.  I only need to hear again 3-4 more times!”

Took the show on the road for two days to a client who hosted Internal Auditor Training at their Houston Headquarters.  An advantage of being on-site was that participants completed an audit of their own Quality Management System, live.
 
Feedback from training participants included the following:
 
“Learned more about ISO 9001:2015.  The entire session was fun.  Instructor was amazing and kept the training sessions lively.”
 
“Learned what ISO means and had fun working on the audit.”
 
“I learned the different clauses to audit against and to ask open-ended questions.  I had fun throughout the entire class.  Instructors were very knowledgeable and had great personalities.”
 
“I learned more details on ISO 9001.  Great presenter!  I really enjoyed the style and dynamic of the training.”
 
“I learned ISO 9001 objectives and how they relate to my company.  I had fun listening and debating the observations and nonconformances.”
 
“I learned the relationship between ISO 9001 and PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act).  I had fun all the time.  Training class was very dynamic and informative.  I really enjoyed. Thanks.”
 
“I learned how to perform an audit.  Had fun during lunch!”
 
“Good experience.  Very interactive workshop.”
