Courses and series of courses

Single courses and modular series of courses serve to comprehensively elaborate a topic and prepare for an examination for a specified competence certificate. The upstream learning contents will lead from the bases via the methods to case studies from practice. At most series of courses provided by Quality Austria, the qualifications that are imparted are harmonized all over Europe and recognized worldwide. Depending on the complexity of the topic, series of courses will be broken down into 1 to 5 courses. In most cases, the courses provided by Quality Austria can be attended independently one from another. In our opinion, however, knowledge can be interlinked best if you attend the courses in the order shown in the charts of overview. As the topics in the practical parts of the training are becoming more and more complex, you will thus optimally be prepared for your tasks. The courses provided by Quality Austria are aimed at imparting competence in a clearly defined field of activities. They will always impart knowledge, methods and implementation within the companies with a focus on how the individual translates them into action in his/her work environment. The acquired competence will be identified in the course of an examination.

Seminars

Seminars focus on discussing topical technical issues, update existing knowledge and take up new topics. The spectrum covers all the contents of training provided by us. Seminars offer an excellent opportunity of familiarizing oneself with new topics or updating one's knowledge of other topics. Therefore, they are not only suitable for experts in the respective areas but also for leaders and managers and persons from other Technical Departments and Divisions, who would like to acquire knowledge of a topic in a compact and well-aimed manner. Therefore, exchange of experience is a fixed part of the training methodology.

Refresher courses

The refresher courses provided by Quality Austria Academy enable updating and supplementing of knowledge, methods and competencies. In refresher courses, it is assumed that you have completed adequate base training and are actively involved in the relevant business area. Therefore, it is not only a matter of imparting the most recent developments in the technical area, no matter whether it is a question of results of research, developments of laws or standards and regulations or methods. Networking and technical discussions with colleagues are part of refresher courses just as well. Thus issues from the business environment can be discussed while developing approaches together. The participants' large experience, which is paired with the know-how of the trainers of Quality Austria Academy, will offer the opportunity of integrating new approaches in one's own work. Many prolongations of Certificates require evidencing that refresher courses have been attended. The relevant conditions are stated in connection with the single certification programmes. Refresher courses require active participation. However, they will not be completed by an examination.
