Questions
Quick answers
What does a QA/QC intern do?
You work in the quality department of a simulated components plant: a reject Pareto, an inspection and test plan with a checklist, a gauge study and an SPC and capability sheet. Later weeks add an NCR and 8D, a PFMEA and control plan, a site inspection pack and an audit finding with a dossier check.
What is the difference between QA and QC?
Quality assurance plans and checks the system, so that work is done right the first time: procedures, inspection plans and audits. Quality control checks the product itself: measurements, tests and inspections against limits. Week 1 teaches the difference with examples.
Which tools do I need for QA/QC practice?
A free spreadsheet such as Google Sheets or LibreOffice Calc, for the Pareto, the control charts and capability. Every tool used is free, so there is nothing to buy.
Is there a free QA/QC internship with a certificate?
Yes. The Free internship is 4 weeks: no fee to join, and every note, weekly check, worked exercise and the final exam cost nothing. The exam is multiple choice and marked automatically. Passing it earns a free Internship Completion Certificate with a QR code anyone can scan. Engineer-verified is the optional paid edition: an engineer reviews each week and your project, and Brijin Chacko signs your graded certificate and letters. It runs 4 or 8 weeks, and you see its price in your currency before you pay.
Does the QA/QC internship cover site inspection as well as factories?
Yes. Most weeks follow a production line for turned and plated pins, and week 7 reviews the site records for a new building annex: concrete cube results, a cable insulation test and the inspection of welded frames.
Is the certificate real?
Yes. You get a free Internship Completion Certificate from Wartens Ltd (UK), delivered through EDWartens. It has a number and a QR code, so anyone can check it on edwartens.com/verification. It is a verifiable training certificate, not a degree or a licence.
Can I start free and upgrade later?
Yes. Everything you have done carries over, and anything you already paid for this internship in the same currency is taken off. More in the Help Centre at edwartens.com/support/upgrade-free-to-premium-internship.
What happens after the 4 weeks?
You keep your certificate and your record, and your verification page stays open. Nothing is charged. If you want more, you can upgrade to Engineer-verified, up to 30 days after your end date.
Is the Quality Engineering (QA/QC) internship free?
Yes. The Free internship is 4 weeks: joining, the weekly checks and the final exam. No card, nothing to buy, and it ends with a free verifiable Internship Completion Certificate. The Engineer-verified internship is optional.
How long can I take?
Free: the first 4 weeks. The plan can run up to 8 weeks, and the weeks past 4 come with a longer plan, which is paid. Free starts today, and all 4 weeks are open from day 1.
