About

Created by the American Petroleum Institute (API)—the global voice of the oil & natural gas industry—this 2.5-day API Q1 Fundamentals course provides a deep dive into API Specification Q1, 10th Edition, the industry-recognized quality management system standard for manufacturing organizations.

Mireaux is proud to be an authorized provider of this royalty-based course, licensed directly by API. Attendees receive official interpretations and exercises developed by API.

Description

This highly interactive course examines API Specification Q1, 10th Edition clause by clause, providing insight into the intent and expectations of each requirement from API’s official perspective.

Through a combination of “Think About It” reflections, real-world activities, and group workshops, participants will build practical knowledge to support the implementation or maintenance of a Q1-certified Quality Management System.

Topics include documentation and record-keeping, risk-based thinking, contingency planning, product quality plans, management responsibility, and the expanded risk and change management requirements introduced in the 10th Edition.
