FMEA Training – Effective, engaging, practical certification course in Failure Mode and Effects Analysis Online or Classroom

Enrol and certify in our FMEA Training course for a comprehensive introduction to the step-by-step method of conducting Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). This course defines the crucial role, methodologies, and implementation of FMEAs as a fundamental element of preventive action programs. Participants will actively engage in determining FMEA objectives, analysing potential failure causes and effects, assessing risks, and developing effective preventive action plans.

Our interactive FMEA Training includes valuable resources such as handouts, practice exercises, editable templates, real-world examples from design, process, and service contexts, quizzes, and full certification.

Learn process and design FMEA approaches in our comprehensive training program available in online, virtual or in house formats.  A complimentary 2-month access to the online FMEA training course and FMEA certification is included. 

About this course

Prevention is always preferable to dealing with the consequences later on! Originally developed in the 1960s for the aerospace industry, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a systematic approach for identifying and investigating potential weaknesses in design or processes.

Join our online FMEA training or Virtual or In house FMEA training course to become a master of Failure Mode Effects Analysis. This technical risk analysis tool helps assess and prioritize risks associated with product or process failures, enabling effective mitigation strategies.

By the course’s completion, you will possess the skills to conduct a thorough Failure Mode Effects Analysis. Whether you’re a member or leader of an analysis team utilising methodologies like Lean Six Sigma, this analysis technique will greatly aid your problem-solving efforts.

You do not need any experience of FMEA to undertake this FMEA certification course.

What will I learn?

Our FMEA training courses will explain not only what FMEA is but walk you through the completion of Process and Design FMEA’s.

FMEA is most noticeably used in industries where there is a serious risk associated with failure, such as aviation, the Armed Forces, space exploration & manufacturing. However, it is also common across the rest of industry where failures may not be so dangerous but could be hugely expensive or very damaging to the company.

During this course, you will cover the following FMEA topics:
