NQA-1 Supplier Audit/Surveillance Training - 4-Days,
September 30 - October 3, 2008 
Only $1795 per person - at Lowe's Motor Speedway, Charlotte, NC
Background & Introduction
J-E-T-S has encouraged the use of highly qualified, technically knowledgeable personnel during supplier audits, surveillances, and inspections. Effective use of highly qualified personnel can substantially enhance the value of Supplier audits and surveillances. However, to ensure this value, Supplier verification personnel must be knowledgeable of requirements, intent, and expectations of nuclear QA programs. The problem is in providing useful and timely training to supplier audit personnel. The training required is broad-based, but must also be detailed, efficient, and not boring! In response to this need, J-E-T-S has developed Supplier Audit & Surveillance Training. This four-day, "hands on" program provides tools needed to plan and perform performance-based Supplier audits and surveillances and inspections, consistent with NQA-1 and/or ANSI N45.2.12 & N45.2.23. This program meets NQA-1 and ANSI N45.2.12 Lead Auditor training requirements and includes a written exam.
