APQP & PPAP Training

Claudius Consulting are providers of high quality APQP & PPAP training to the automotive and aerospace sectors. Our typical APQP & PPAP training involves you providing information on the products/processes you wish to apply APQP & PPAP to, so as well as learning the principles, you also have the opportunity to explore how the principles are best applied to your own products/processes through our interactive learning-through-doing approach. The training can be delivered face-to-face or virtually. Certificates of attendance are provided following the training at no additional cost.
