About

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

Description

Developed exclusively by Mireaux Management Solutions, this course is based on years of real-world experience implementing and auditing API Q1 systems and training organizations across various industries. Unlike theory-only courses, our implementation class uses a 3-prong approach for each clause:

  1. What the standard says

  2. How to apply it in the real world

  3. How to audit it effectively

This unique methodology allows participants to understand not just the requirements of the standard but also how to put them into practice and how to assess their effectiveness.

Key topics include:

  • The foundation, structure, and applicability of API Q1

  • A detailed clause-by-clause walkthrough of the 10th Edition

  • Key changes from the 9th Edition to the 10th Edition

  • Strategies for implementing a new QMS, transitioning from the 9th Edition, or upgrading from ISO 9001:2015

  • The APIQR registration and certification process

Participants will also benefit from real application examples, case studies, and practical exercises that make the content engaging and implementation-ready.

Learning Objectives​

By the end of this course, participants will understand:

  • The industry applicability and scope of API Q1
