Rescheduling “Improving the Quality of Your Certification” Workshops, and Thank You - Thank you all for your interest in Improving the Quality of Your Certification Program: A Learning and Planning Retreat. These workshops (originally scheduled for Florida in January, February, and March) have been postponed due to my husband Ed’s illness.
Validity and Quality – A Marriage Made in Heaven -What do the design of valid certification examinations and the design of quality products have in common? Customers! The first step in designing a high-quality process is to obtain customer requirements and prioritize them.
Training ANSI Assessors for Accrediting Certification Bodies - Did you ever wonder how ANSI assures that its assessors for ISO 17024 are making consistent decisions about programs that are applying for accreditation? As an ANSI assessor, I’ve been very impressed with the steps that ANSI takes to assure that its assessors are calibrated.
Learn About Best Practice Management Procedures From Outside Your Industry - WILD About Testing is about improving the quality of your products and services for your clients. Many of my readers have asked how they can learn more about quality. Of course, Improving Testing: Applying Process Tools and Techniques to Assure Quality is one way to start. Another is to attend my workshop – but that is six months away.
