This message came in my inbox today. As requested, I am passing it on to those who might be interested.
Please direct your questions to AIAG.
My guess is that there will be a variety of courses and prices.
The only way to know for sure is to attend in person or via webinar.
If you do attend, we would all appreciate your report on what transpires and whether you think the opportunity is worth pursuing.
We have often raised the topic of changing industries both here in the Cove and over in the ASQ Forums. Folks have reported that getting into healthcare as a quality wonk without healthcare credentials is a particularly difficult task. Perhaps this is a viable solution to that perception.
Please direct your questions to AIAG.
I have no information on what the classes will ultimately cost if one should sign up after attending this free seminar.Seeking Unemployed Automotive Quality Professionals
