Automotive quality management
IATF 16949
Your customer asked for it and you don't know where to start — start here
What this standard is
IATF 16949 is the automotive quality standard, built on ISO 9001 with the extra requirements carmakers demand. We teach both the standard itself and all six Core Tools — the toolkit every OEM auditor asks about.
- APQP — advance quality planning
- PPAP — part approval
- FMEA — risk analysis
- Control Plan
- SPC — statistical process control
- MSA — measurement system analysis
Who it suits
- Parts plants whose customers now ask for IATF 16949
- Teams submitting PPAP without full confidence
- ISO 9001 holders moving into automotive
- Engineers using FMEA and Control Plans daily
What you get out of it

- Participants receive a certificate that can be verified online — ready to show a customer or an auditor on the spot.
