Root Cause Analysis
Course Overview
The course includes an induction session to welcome and orientate the candidate, and familiarize them with the training centre, health and safety requirements and other important policies and procedures. The training consists of a mix of classroom and workshop sessions and various assessments. Upon successful completion, the candidate will gain the knowledge and understanding to enhance their existing skills to plan and schedule the maintenance activities in their work area.
This training course is designed to upskill the engineering technicians working within their trade discipline or appreciating another, where knowledge and understanding may be required.
The entry requirements are a positive attitude to learning and clear motivation to study with evidence of an appropriate level of practical ability and skills.
Upon completing the training course, candidates will be awarded a ‘Certificate of Attendance’ from NTI, attested by the Ministry of Manpower.
