CQI-12 Internal Auditor Training Course
A Coating System Assessment is a structured evaluation of whether coating operations are properly controlled, consistently implemented and capable of meeting the product and customer quality requirements set for them. CQI-12 is the special process standard that defines how that assessment is carried out.
This two-day course equips participants with the skills and knowledge to audit coating systems against the CQI-12 requirements: understanding the assessment requirements, evaluating coating processes for compliance, planning and executing the audit, identifying nonconformities and following through on corrective action. It is taught through hands-on audit scenarios, role-playing exercises and case studies.
