Implementation

The 3-Day API Q1 Implementation training course provides a deep look into the API Q1 10th Edition Quality Management System Requirements for Organizations serving the Petroleum and Natural Gas Industry. 

This course has been designed by Mireaux Management Solutions based on years of experience implementing API Q1 Quality Management Systems, auditing various management systems, and training on API Q1. This course focuses on three areas:

  • Background and application of API Q1 standard.
  • In depth overview of each clause of the API Q1 standard, using a 3-prong approach: what the standard says, how to implement the standard in the real world, and how to audit it.
  • Explanation of changes from the API Q1 9th Edition to the 10th Edition.

A well-structured Case Study, real application examples and practical exercises help participants develop a hands-on understanding that will facilitate the implementation of a world-class Quality Management System.

Learning Objectives

By the end of the course, participants should have attained knowledge and understanding of the following concepts:

  • Industry applicability of the API Q1 standard.
  • How to use the Process Approach to identify the organization’s core and support processes.
  • Each of the API Q1 10th Edition clause requirements, how to implement each of these clauses in the real world, and how to audit them.
  • The necessary steps to:
  • Implement a brand-new Quality Management System based on API Q1 10th Edition.
  • Transition an existing Quality Management System from API Q1 9th Edition to the 10th Edition.
  • Upgrade an existing Quality Management System from ISO 9001:2015 to API Q1 10th Edition.
  • Examples of manual versus electronic record keeping.
  • The APIQR registration and certification process.
