Learn the principles and applications for a variety of quality system audits. Students engage in practicing audit skills that apply to real world applications by utilizing the power of small groups to plan, schedule, and report on audit results. Part of working in audit environments is dealing with opposing views or conflict; work to develop techniques for de-escalation and conflict resolution. Individual and group assignments enable applying a range of audit tactics in common use that prepare students for audits by major suppliers, customers, and agencies.
