Class name: Inspection and Quality Control

Requirements: English and Math assessment at WorkKeys level 3

Audience: Candidates for entry level positions in manufacturing quality inspection

Entry Wage: $9/hr     1 Year Wage: $12-14/hr

Description: For qualified candidates, this intensive job-training program provides avenues of opportunity in the field of inspection and quality control. Manufacturing quality inspectors ensure that the manufactured parts meet the specifications required by the customer. In addition to standard measuring devices, such as micrometers and gauges, inspectors often operate electronic inspection equipment, such as coordinate-measuring machines (CMMs). These machines use sensitive probes to measure a part's dimensional accuracy and allow the inspector to analyze the results with computer software. Inspectors testing electrical devices may use voltmeters, ammeters, and ohmmeters to test potential difference, current flow, and resistance, respectively. All the tools that inspectors use are maintained by calibration technicians, who ensure that they work properly and generate accurate readings. Training consists of quality assurance principles, quality control principles, quality control application, reliability principles and practices, mechanical inspection and test principles and practices, quality auditing principles and practices.
