 Introduction to MedAccred & Root-Cause Corrective Action Seminars














































































































































































Crash Course in MedAccred Certification
Expert Resource offers two half-day seminars, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, which culminate in a multi-faceted MedAccred introduction.

Our morning session covers general MedAccred topics, introducing the basics of MedAccred standards, the roadmap to MedAccred certification, and navigatio
n of MedAccred's eAuditnet portal.  

Our afternoon session addresses MedAccred Root Cause and Corrective Action (RCCA) training in 8D Format
.  MedAccred's RCCA's are much more detailed than ISO standard CA's and lack of training in this area is the most common contributor to Nadcap and MedAccred audit failure.  Our training prepares you for responding to MedAccred NCR's in a format that is widely required by many OEM's.

Trainees are encouraged to attend both sessions to maximize their knowledge base, however sessions are purchased individually.  There are no pre-requisites to attend either session. Each seminar is designed for beginners and for those mid-way through implementation, but can also be helpful as refresher courses for experienced professionals.

About Expert Resource

Expert Resource provides the consulting and training to prepare your company for successful MedAccred certifications with PRI.

Expert Resource: LEADING MEDACCRED EXPERTS

Expert Resource is the leading provider of MedAccred and Nadcap consulting services.  100% of our clients (hundreds) pass their first attempt at certification with PRI.  Most of our consultants are spread throughout the United States, England, and China, but we have also helped companies in over 10 other countries.  Headquartered in California, we will go anywhere to help you.  

Our clients are very diversified in size, location, and special process expertise. We have met the needs of the largest OEM's and very small job shops alike. Our prices are highly competitive and our consultants are very personable.  We specialize in every area of MedAccred and we guarantee our work. 

MedAccred consultants must be (1) technical experts in their fields (ex: Welding, Plastics, Heat Treating, Sterilization, etc.) and (2) experienced experts with the MedAccred requirements, many of which are still developing.  Most of our competitors are ISO 9000 consultants with some vague understanding of Nadcap or MedAccred and very little experience in those specific fields.  Be careful not to use someone who claims to be able to simply "interpret any standard".  MedAccred requirements are very technical and your consultant should be a technical expert with decades of experience.

The majority of our MedAccred consultants are Nadcap Lead Auditors, which means they are the authorities.  They work part-time for PRI (the MedAccred and Nadcap audit certification company) and part-time for Expert Resource.  They are trained by PRI (the authority approved by all the OEM's and Primes) and have hundreds of audits in their repertoire.  Be sure you are relying on the best because they will utimately affect not only your certification success but more importantly they will be modifying how your company operates.   It is critical.  Don't leave your company in the hands of a novice.  Our previous history with Nadcap and MedAccred audits (with clients of various sizes with various special processes) resulted in 2 or less minor findings per audit, some of which were flawless audits.  Does your MedAccred consultant have a proven success record?
