This course is presented to allow contractors to meet Corps’ construction contract requirements for the training of contractor quality control personnel. Corps of Engineers Guide Specification CEGS-1451, entitled “Contractor Quality Control”, April 1997, requires approval of the contractor’s quality control manager being contingent upon the successful completion of this course.
Course Information:

Each module is further divided into sub modules.
General: This course is a facilitated video course containing eight modules, which are further divided into sub modules. Each module/sub module includes an introduction, a short video clip, and a short reading segment followed by class discussion. This course is designed to involve the student in the learning and teaching process by interaction, relevant examples and active participation. A practical exercise is included where students are divided into teams, which then hold a preparatory control phase meeting.
