Price on registration   Training rates
The construction industry is vital to the economic growth of New Zealand—from large infrastructure projects to the provision of warm and dry homes. In association with Matt Hopson from QA Audit NZ, NZOQ is able to bring you the Quality Assurance in Construction programme.

An important way to increase sector productivity and the quality of processes and outcomes is by training staff. Using his years of both international and national experience, Matt has developed a short practical one-day programme that is relevant and topical to all staff on the site.

Learning outcomes

Equip your site engineers and foremen with the knowledge and skills necessary to thrive in the construction industry, with the confidence to develop and understand how methodology becomes an ITP and is handed over as a QA pack to the client.

While there is a call for more workers to engage with the sector, recent industry experiences tell us that we need to be focused on high-quality processes and procedures to ensure that the end result meets the specification and is fit for purpose.

Construction companies are encouraged to register their staff to attend this short practical programme. Participants will engage in real-world case studies during the one-day session and will be awarded a certificate upon completion.

Comments from attendees

Barney Chunn
We found the QAC training to be a fantastic day of involved, collaborative learning. The training offered a really practical view of how the QA process should work, can work, and how to implement it successfully. A really worthwhile course to take if you want to deepen your knowledge of how to get the most out of your QA process.

The training provided to our project managers and project engineers to date has been effective in raising awareness of the importance of a well-written and strongly executed job-specific ITP. As a result of the training, we have seen a significant improvement in our own quality assurance and quality control efforts, particularly with our ITPs.
