API Q1 TRAINING COURSE

HIGHLIGHTS:

DASHINTERNATIONAL conducts API QMS Lead Auditor and Internal Auditor workshop based training session for API standards and
certifications. An opportunity to learn from the best in the Oil & Gas industry about getting certified and implementing API Quality Management
System.
The training program on API QMS Internal Auditing is committed to provide the most comprehensive range of management systems training
in the area of API Monogram, API Spec Q1, & ISO 9001: 2008 Quality Management System.
The training program provides both technical knowledge and practical skills essential to become a competent API Internal auditor. Awareness,
documentation & auditors training seminars are designed to provide a basic understanding of Quality Management System (QMS) based on
ISO 9001, & API Spec Q1 Standard.
In this extensive workshop based training, you will learn the implementation basics of API Spec Q1, ISO 9001: 2008, API Monogram programs
and what makes these so valuable, and why you need to know the elements of its requirements.
Based on API Specification Q1, Specification for Quality Programs for the Petroleum, Petrochemical and Natural Gas Industry, the workshop
takes an informative look at the requirements, interpretations, and practical applications of the quality management principles used throughout
the oil and natural gas industry.
API Spec Q1 outlines the requirements for a quality system that facilitates the consistent and reliable manufacture of API products. An API
License is issued only after a quality manual has been submitted and approved and an on-site audit has confirmed that the applicant adheres to
the requirements of both Q1 and the appropriate API product specifications.
API Spec Q1 is consistent with ISO 9001: 2008 and API now offers dual registration. While it is necessary to have a valid API license to apply
the API Monogram, a manufacturer can produce product which meets the API requirements without the license and mark the product only with
the specification designation.
