Program Description Graduates of this program qualify for entry level positions as quality inspectors. Employees in quality assurance (QA) inspect, validate, and review products and processes for conformance to applicable standards and specifications. Aerospace Quality Assurance professionals require the ability to read and gather information from highly technical documents and apply sound judgment and reasoning to determine if a part or assembly meets specified requirements. Successful students may be employed performing quality assurance checks on all parts of the aircraft, electrical component installation, fastener installation, electrical assemblies and rework. QA personnel require technical competence, excellent verbal and written communication, and interpersonal skills. Many skills built in the Aerospace QA program can readily transfer to other industries. This certificate of completion requires successful completion of a minimum of 16.5 credits as outlined. Advising Note This program requirement sheet is not a substitute for meeting with an academic advisor. Meeting the requirements to graduate with an Edmonds College certificate or degree is ultimately the responsibility of the student.
