Core Tools Training Courses

Core Tools enable organisations to develop new products and processes more efficiently, reducing the risk of product and process failure and enabling co-operation between supply chain partners.

Bywater’s five Core Tools courses, Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP), Failure Modes Effects Analysis (FMEA), Statistical Process Control (SPC), Measurement System Analysis (MSA) and Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) underpin the entire product lifecycle, from concept to service support.

Our Course Tools courses take place online as Virtual Classroom training or at venues in Manchester, Coventry and Windsor.  These are available as standalone events or can be booked together as a Combined Core Tools Training Package.  Please view the Core Tools course listing and select your preferred course.

All of our Core Tools training courses can take place on a dedicated basis at  a venue of your choice or online. Dedicated training is often more cost effective and convenient for organisations wishing to train a number of employees.  Please select the following link to request a quote.

Core Tools can support the implementation of a Quality Management System (QMS) that is compliant with ISO 9001:2015 and IATF 16949:2016. We can provide additional support to those wishing to use Core Tools within their organisation and achieve or maintain certification.
