Better than previous provider as it explained a number of RCA methods and toolsPreviously completed RCA training with a different provider which really only focused on one methodology. This was better as it explained a number of RCA methods and tools.

My newfound knowledge of the component parts to RCA is greatMy newfound knowledge of the component parts to RCA is great. Firstly finding the problem and the techniques used for that, then RCA itself and how to confirm whether solutions work or not. All very useful.
