The QWAY Difference
"As a seasoned Lead Auditor of 20 years, I have not had a better NQA-1 course than what Daren delivers. It's a very comprehensive course that takes you from start to finish of an NQA-1 audit. It was very hands on and interactive. I highly recommend this class to anyone regardless of experience as an auditor."

"I believe that our industry needs to have this course as part of our itinerary. Even if you are a seasoned NQA-1 Lead Auditor already or an Auditor working on your Lead Auditor Certification you will most definitely learn or refresh your skills. I took this course as an auditor working on my lead auditor certification and I really appreciate the content and the professional teaching skills that Daren brought forth. I will use what I have been taught, thank you Daren."

WTC, Inc. is dedicated to improving the quality of our work each and every day. We believe the next logical step on this journey is to implement an ASME NQA-1 compliant Quality Assurance Program at our company. From the first day that we partnered with Daren and his team to help us with this process, we have been nothing but impressed with his knowledge and expertise. Our experience with Daren culminated in a two-day deep dive training into all aspects of the NQA-1 program to make sure our implementation phase starts off smoothly. The training was top notch and very informative. Daren is a true professional! We look forward to continuing to work with Daren as we continue to our mission of excellence in engineering!
