Accelerated Learning Techniques |
|
“It’s a good way to learn as it incorporates several learning methods like group exercises.” All SQMC Management Systems courses employ ‘Accelerated Learning’ techniques. What is Accelerated Learning? It is an umbrella term for a series of practical approaches to learning. These theories draw from a range of disciplines including: the study of aspects of brain function, theories of human attention and motivation, the psychology of optimal performance and intelligence theory. There is a clear link between the Deming (PDCA) Cycle & the ‘Learning Cycle’ used in our Management Systems courses, as recommended by IRCA. “(The SQMC) ‘Accelerated Learning’ method was enjoyable and helped to put a very dry subject into more ‘human’ terms.” |

International Register of Certificated Auditors |
SQMC is an IRCA-registered Training Organisation (A.O. 3808). This is an assurance to our clients that the standard of training they receive is recognised and approved internationally.
The Institute of Quality Assurance (CQI) set up IRCA in order to provide an objective assurance of the competence of Quality Auditors. This is vital to Accreditation and Certification Bodies, ISO 9000-registered organisations and, most importantly, their customers.
If you wish to register your activity to ISO 9001:2000, the first step (after having implemented the system) is to train Internal Quality Auditors to monitor the continuing Quality well-being of your organisation. Call SQMC to discuss all aspects of the way ahead – we’re here to help.
