Prerequisites of this Root Cause Analysis Training

There are no formal prerequisites for attending this Root Cause Analysis Training. However, a basic understanding of problem-solving and analytical thinking will help delegates get the most out of the course.

Root Cause Analysis Training Overview

Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a structured method used to identify the underlying reasons behind recurring problems, process failures, and operational inefficiencies. It is widely adopted across industries to support continuous improvement and long-term problem prevention.

This Course is designed for professionals who are responsible for resolving issues, enhancing process reliability, or improving operational outcomes. RCA skills are especially useful in quality management, manufacturing, engineering, project oversight, and safety-critical environments.

This 1-Day Training by The Knowledge Academy provides practical techniques and real-world tools such as the 5 Whys, Pareto Analysis, Fishbone Diagrams, and Fault Tree Analysis. Delegates will gain the skills to collect data, analyse causes, and recommend effective solutions that prevent recurrence.

Course Objectives

• To understand the role of root cause analysis in addressing recurring operational issues
• To learn various RCA methodologies, techniques, and best practices
• To develop skills in gathering relevant data and analysing causal factors
• To identify and address the root causes of incidents and problems effectively
• To formulate actionable recommendations to prevent recurrence and improve service reliability
• To equip professionals with tools to support continuous improvement and long-term solutions

By the end of this Root Cause Analysis Training, delegates will be equipped to investigate problems thoroughly, identify root causes, and implement practical solutions that prevent recurrence and improve operational performance.
