Quality Infrastructure courses
We are pleased to introduce to as part of the Quality Promotions initiatives, the Quality Infrastructure courses that have been developed for the region through CROSQ. The courses to be introduced, which were developed as an initiative of the Technical Barriers to Trade Component of the 11th European Development Fund, Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) Programme, will include:
· QOES001 – Introduction to Quality Infrastructure
· QOES002 – Standards Development – Essentials
· QOES003 – Fundamentals of Metrology
· QOES004 – Auditing for Quality Effectiveness, and
· QOES005 – Quality Infrastructure: Marketing Communications.
All courses are introductory, although there is a slightly intermediate component in QOES003, which deals with metrology and meteorology. Staff of our Bureau, as well as persons who are interested in the quality infrastructure can enroll for these courses. It is a good way to ensure all staff and stakeholders know at least the basics of QI, which is the realm in which we operate. The Standards course will be particularly helpful to technical committees as well.
