Quality Practitioner Apprenticeship Certificate
As advocates for implementing quality practice and governance, quality practitioners support and develop people within and outside the quality function. The broad purpose of the occupation is to deploy effective quality practices in their responsible area to ensure organisations fulfil the contractual and regulatory requirements of their customers and other stakeholders. This course aims to develop your skills when holding internal meetings to review data, gathering and analysing quality performance data, carrying out audits or inspections, dealing with stakeholder visits, and interacting with a variety of business functions.
This course is designed around a set of key principles based on engaging you with the world, collaborating with others, challenging you to think in new ways, and providing you with a supportive environment in which you can thrive. You'll be taught by industry experts and active researchers in a supportive and inclusive environment. We'll also help you to apply your new skills and behaviours to your place of work.
You will learn through online lectures and tutorials, work-based projects, problem solving exercises, online class discussions, and independent study. The course is structured around applied learning which links your studies to real-world situations within your workplace. This allows you to develop high quality and sustainable processes in line with business requirements.
The programme adopts an online learning approach with modules delivered through tutor-led sessions.
