Training & E-Learning
Global Training Platform
Our e-learning programs feature over 500 courses ranging from general quality training to product-specific and client-specific instructions. The courses, accessible online at all times, are prepared by our dedicated training team to international standards, best practices, and your requirements.
Powered by the QIMA Knowledge Center, the online courses are accessible anywhere, anytime and on any device.
Specialized Inspector and Auditor Training
Our programs provide a blended approach for inspector and auditor training, combining online e-learning courses with onsite technical field training led by a mentor.
QIMA inspectors and audits are trained at three distinct levels:
| Inspectors | Auditors |
| 1. General introduction to inspection rules, processes and tests | 1. General introduction to audit rules, processes and check points |
| 2. Product-specific courses, for example hardline (toys, furniture etc) or softline (garments, footwear etc) | 2. Audit specific courses, for example structural audits, ethical audits, technical audits or environmental audits |
| 3. Client-specific courses to provide understanding of a business’ detailed requirements, from sampling processes through to testing specifics and defect classifications | 3. Client-specific courses to provide understanding of a business’ detailed requirements, from factory arrival and key requirements to report sending |
As our inspectors and auditors follow their structured learning path, they take exams at all major checkpoints and must undergo field assessment before being certified for independent work.
Establish a Custom Training Program
We develop custom training programs for clients where the QIMA training team builds bespoke lessons and quizzes that combine our quality control and supply chain compliance expertise with your in-house knowledge. These courses will be available for QIMA inspectors and auditors as part of their client-specific training, as well as your own team and suppliers.
