    What Is Root Cause Analysis?A Skill Every Austrian Operation Needs

    Root Cause Analysis (RCA) Training in Austria is a practical, one-day programme that teaches you how to investigate problems, defects and incidents, trace them to their fundamental cause, and put corrective actions in place that stop them recurring. Rather than firefighting the same issues again and again, you learn a structured method that gets to why a problem happened and how to prevent it. The course suits quality engineers, operations and production managers, health and safety professionals, IT service managers and improvement practitioners across Austria's automotive, manufacturing, pharmaceutical and technology sectors. No prior qualifications are needed, and the tools apply immediately to the problems your team faces every day. Over a single focused day you work through the complete RCA toolkit, from the 5 Whys and the Fishbone diagram to Fault Tree Analysis, FMEA and the 8D method, applying each to realistic scenarios. You leave able to run investigations that satisfy ISO 9001 corrective-action expectations and drive lasting improvement. Start building this capability with Invensis Learning.

    The RCA Toolkit You Will MasterSkills You Can Apply on Monday Morning

    You will learn how to investigate any problem, defect or failure and trace it to its fundamental cause using a complete toolkit of root cause analysis methods. By the end of the one-day programme you can select the right tool for each problem and lead an investigation from definition to verified corrective action.

    Define the Problem Precisely

    Write clear, factual problem statements and use Is/Is Not analysis to set the boundary of an issue before you investigate, so your team solves the right problem from the start.

    Apply the 5 Whys

    Drill from a visible symptom to its underlying cause with structured questioning, and recognise when an investigation has stopped too early or landed on blame instead of a system cause.

    Build Fishbone (Ishikawa) Diagrams

    Facilitate cause-and-effect workshops across the 6M categories to map every possible cause of a complex, multi-factor problem and pinpoint the ones worth verifying with evidence.

    Run Fault Tree Analysis and FMEA

    Use top-down Fault Tree Analysis for safety-critical events and apply FMEA to rank failure modes by risk, so you can prioritise corrective actions where they matter most.

    Complete an 8D Investigation

    Work through all eight disciplines, from interim containment to permanent corrective action and prevention, using the team-based method automotive and manufacturing customers expect.

    Verify and Sustain Corrective Actions

    Develop corrective actions that address the verified root cause, confirm they actually work, and meet ISO 9001 corrective-action expectations so problems do not return.

    Pricing can vary between live virtual, classroom and onsite corporate delivery. Onsite training is quoted per group, while individual seats are priced per learner. Request a quote to compare the options for Austria.

    Assessment

    Is there an exam for this course?

    No. Root Cause Analysis training is a non-certification skills course with no exam. Learning is reinforced through hands-on tool exercises, case-study investigations and team discussion throughout the one-day programme.

    Will I receive a certificate?

    Yes. You receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning after finishing the programme. It confirms you have completed practical training in the full RCA toolkit.

    How is learning assessed during the course?

    There is no formal assessment. Instead, you apply each tool to realistic scenarios through guided exercises, including an Is/Is Not activity, a 5 Whys investigation, a Fishbone workshop and an 8D report, so you practise the skills as you learn them.

    Is this a recognised certification?

    No. This is a practical skills training programme with no awarding body or exam. The value is in the immediately usable problem-solving capability you build, which you can apply at work straight away.

    Will I be able to use these tools at work immediately?

    Yes. Because the training is exercise-based and vendor-neutral, the 5 Whys, Fishbone, Fault Tree Analysis, FMEA and 8D tools transfer directly to the problems your team faces, so you can run real investigations right after the course.

    Course Content

    What topics does the RCA course cover?

    The programme covers RCA principles and the three levels of cause, problem definition and data collection, the 5 Whys, the Fishbone diagram and advanced tools such as Fault Tree Analysis and FMEA, the full 8D methodology, and corrective action, verification and building an RCA culture.

    What problem-solving tools will I learn?

    You will learn five core tools and when to use each: 5 Whys for simple problems, the Fishbone diagram for complex multi-cause issues, Fault Tree Analysis for safety-critical events, FMEA for risk prioritisation, and 8D for team-based corrective action.

    How long is the training?

    The course runs for one day of about eight hours, covering all six RCA modules with concept explanations, worked examples and hands-on exercises. An extended format spread over two half-days is also available where that suits your schedule.

    Is the course hands-on or theory-based?

    It is highly hands-on. You apply every tool to realistic problem scenarios and case studies during the day, including completing an 8D report, so you leave able to run investigations rather than just describe them.

    Does the course align with ISO 9001?

    Yes. RCA directly supports the ISO 9001 corrective-action requirement (Clause 10.2) to determine causes and prevent recurrence, and it underpins CAPA in regulated sectors such as pharma and medical devices. The training equips you to meet these expectations.

    Enrollment

    How do I enrol in RCA training?

    You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website. Choose your preferred format, complete your booking, and you will receive joining details, schedules and learning materials. A learning advisor can help you pick the right option for Austria.
