Corporate Training By Zack Academy - Writing a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP)

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This two-day, hands-on Writing a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) course is intended for anyone who needs to write QAPPs for projects, without spending excessive hours writing and revising an unnecessarily complicated planning document. Attendees will learn and become comfortable with the concepts, structures, and background materials needed for composing the QAPP, and the tools to turn what might be an overwhelming task into one that can be completed in a reasonable amount of time with a reasonable amount of effort. This course is also conveniently available online.

With the instructor’s help, participants will perform customized exercises, working through a QAPP template for water quality monitoring that was distributed during the Alaska Forum on the Environment. The instructor will share tips and tricks that go far beyond available on-line guidance; students will learn how to efficiently complete the template. This hands-on approach, with plenty of opportunities for questions and personalized answers, will help students come up to speed quickly without the doubts, slow responses, and steep learning curves inherent in self-taught or even the best on-line class systems.  

Students are expected to come to the class with a basic understanding of the role of quality assurance and quality control in developing and conducting an environmental program for water quality monitoring.  Comfort in using programs such as Microsoft Word and Excel will be beneficial in getting the most of the class.
