Learning is better when you’re part of the process!

At QMII, our classes aren’t just about sitting through slides and listening to someone talk. 50% or more of our training is dedicated to interactive workshops and practical scenarios that help participants put what they’re learning into action.

This feedback from a recent ISM Code Auditor Course participant is a great example of why we take this approach.

We want our students to leave with more than knowledge. We want them to leave feeling confident applying it in the real world.

If something in your business is high risk, your first move shouldn't be to write a procedure. The real goal is to mistake-proof your system so the wrong steps simply cannot happen. Documentation often comes second to engineering out the possibility of error.

After sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln endured a grueling, record-length deployment — nearly nine months at sea with almost no port stops, food and hygiene supply shortages, and mental health strain severe enough that some crew reportedly attempted to jump overboard — the Navy says it's applying lessons learned to prepare its next carrier for deployment.

Navy leaders said Tuesday they'd apply those lessons to the USS Theodore Roosevelt, set to deploy to the Middle East next month. Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Daryl Caudle said in a video announcement that the Roosevelt is "maximizing its loadout of food, retail products, and hygiene items" before getting underway, and that the Navy is working to ensure more reliable communication for sailors to stay in touch with family.

Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy John Perryman added that the Navy is converting available spaces into additional recreation/quality-of-life areas. Caudle also mentioned new entertainment equipment for the mess decks as part of the quality-of-life push.

The Lincoln's ordeal was worsened after Iran attacked a Navy base in Bahrain that served as a key supply hub, disrupting logistics for the carrier during the Iran conflict.

Looking to build your ISO knowledge? ISO 9001 is a great place to start.

An effective audit isn’t just about checking boxes. It’s about understanding how processes work, finding where they can break down, and identifying opportunities to improve.

QMII’s ISO 9001 Lead Auditor Training puts that approach into practice, with more than 50% of the four-day course dedicated to hands-on workshops.

You’ll practice:
• Building risk-based audit plans
• Evaluating objective evidence
• Interviewing auditees
• Writing actionable nonconformity statements

A first for QMII and for the U.S. passenger vessel industry. 🚢

The Passenger Vessel Association (PVA) approved QMII as the first Recognized Flagship Organization (RFO) for its new Flagship Safety Management System, a voluntary safety program built for U.S. passenger vessel operators.

Recently, we hit the next major milestone: our very first client seeking certification under the new program.

Congratulations to the operator's team on leading the charge and thank you to everyone who helped bring this milestone to life.

🎉 40 years of QMII!

This week our team celebrated four decades of teaching, learning, and helping organizations build systems that work.

When we look back, we think about the people: the thousands who came through a QMII class and left able to audit, improve, and lead. Watching that happen is what's kept us going.

Thank you to every client, student, and alum who's been part of the journey. Here's to what's next! 🥂

This note made our week. 🙏

A professor thanked IJ, Julius, and Anjalika for speaking to their graduate quality standards class. The students loved the real-world perspective, which is exactly what we love sharing.

We're grateful for this one. 'QMII rocks' might be the best review we've gotten all year. 😊
