(The QC Group: Minneapolis) -- The QC Group, a provider of quality-related inspection, reverse engineering, training, and staffing services for engineering projects, has announced that its QC staffing service is now available in eight states, and its 70-plus different training programs are offered in 50 cities.

“We’ve built our repertoire of quality-related training programs over the past 24 years. While we offered five or six different training programs since the company was first formed in 1986, we established a formal training division in 2002 and have trained more than 4,600 people from nearly 2,000 companies,”  says general manager, David DeVowe.

Quality assurance training from The QC Group’s QC Training has steadily grown in the number of its quality control and inspection training workshops—at customer sites and at conference centers—which now include self-directed and online formats. One-, two- and three-day workshops are conducted by experts with industry experience who hold certifications in their subjects, which fall under the following categories: technical, Six Sigma/lean/core tools, ASQ review certification, and auditing.
