Introduction to VDA 6.3 training

VDA 6.3 is a process audit standard developed by the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) to assess and improve supplier quality. As vehicles become more advanced, new functions emerge and automotive supply chains require stronger management, VDA 6.3 training is increasingly relevant.

ITVC Global developed its VDA 6.3 training service from more than ten years of experience in quality management consulting and training. Our instructors are auditors holding VDA 6.3 certificates issued by VDA QMC, with training and experience in automotive manufacturing. The courses help suppliers improve product quality, reduce costs and better meet customer requirements.

Training quality is a priority at ITVC Global. We use active learning, adapt the course content to participants and combine different learning and assessment methods to improve training effectiveness.
