    What Root Cause Analysis Is and Why It MattersA Problem-Solving Skill for Every Sector

    Root Cause Analysis (RCA) Training is a practical, one-day skills programme that teaches professionals in Ecuador how to investigate problems, defects and incidents and eliminate the underlying causes that let them happen. Rather than treating symptoms, you learn a structured toolkit that prevents the same failure from returning. The course builds a complete RCA method: defining a problem precisely, collecting evidence, and applying proven tools such as the 5 Whys, the Fishbone (Ishikawa) diagram, Fault Tree Analysis, FMEA and the 8D problem-solving methodology. RCA sits at the heart of quality management, forming the corrective-action requirement of ISO 9001:2015 Clause 10.2 and the Analyse phase of Six Sigma DMAIC, and it is applied across aquaculture, food manufacturing, oil and energy, pharmaceuticals and IT. Delivered in live virtual, classroom and corporate formats, this is a non-certification skills course with no examination. You take part in hands-on exercises throughout the day and receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning, walking away able to apply RCA to your own workplace problems straight away.

    Skills You Will Build in This CoursePractical Tools You Will Apply

    In this Root Cause Analysis course you will learn to define problems precisely, apply structured RCA tools, and verify that corrective actions work. By the end of the day you can investigate a real problem end to end and put a lasting fix in place.

    Define Problems Precisely

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

    Apply the 5 Whys

    Drill from a visible symptom to the underlying cause with iterative questioning, and recognise when an investigation has stopped at blame instead of a true system or process cause.

    Facilitate Fishbone Investigations

    Run team-based Ishikawa cause-and-effect sessions across the 6M categories to surface every contributing factor behind a complex, multi-cause problem.

    Analyse Failures with FTA and FMEA

    Use Fault Tree Analysis for safety-critical events and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis to prioritise the causes and controls that matter most in preventing recurrence.

    Run an 8D Investigation

    Work through the eight disciplines, from interim containment to permanent corrective action and prevention, using the format trusted across manufacturing and automotive supply chains.

    Develop and Verify Corrective Actions

    Turn findings into effective, verified corrective actions that satisfy ISO 9001:2015 Clause 10.2 and keep the problem from returning once containment is removed.

    What Our Learners Say

    My Investigations Finally Reach the Real Cause

    "The training completely changed how I run investigations. I used to stop at the obvious cause, but the 5 Whys and Fishbone methods showed me how to reach the real system issue. My non-conformance reports are far stronger now."

    Andres Vaca

    Quality Analyst, Aquaculture

    0/0

    Practical Tools I Could Use Immediately

    "Very practical and hands-on. Working through a real 8D report during the session made it click. I applied the corrective-action steps to a recurring line defect the same week and it has not come back."

    Maria Jose Cedeno

    Continuous Improvement Engineer, Food Manufacturing

    0/0

    Ideal for Safety Incident Investigation

    "The Fault Tree Analysis and Is/Is Not sessions were exactly what I needed for incident investigation. The trainer used real scenarios close to our operations, so everything felt relevant to the field."

    Diego Paredes

    HSE Coordinator, Oil and Energy

    0/0

    One Method Across Our Whole Plant

    "We booked this for our plant quality and production teams. Having everyone use the same RCA method has cut repeat defects and made our corrective actions genuinely stick. The onsite format worked well around our shifts."

    Carolina Mendoza

    Operations Manager, Consumer Goods

    0/0

    Stronger Corrective Action for Our Audits

    "As the sponsor, I wanted training that would strengthen our ISO 9001 corrective-action process. It delivered. The team now documents root causes properly and our internal audit findings have dropped noticeably."

    Root Cause Analysis training is a practical, one-day skills course that teaches you how to investigate problems and eliminate their underlying causes so they do not recur. It suits quality engineers and managers, production supervisors, operations managers, HSE staff, and anyone in Ecuador responsible for solving problems and preventing recurrence.

    General

    What is Root Cause Analysis training and who is it for?

    Root Cause Analysis training is a practical, one-day skills course that teaches you how to investigate problems and eliminate their underlying causes so they do not recur. It suits quality engineers and managers, production supervisors, operations managers, HSE staff, and anyone in Ecuador responsible for solving problems and preventing recurrence.

    Is Root Cause Analysis training worth it?

    Yes. RCA is a core discipline in quality management, Six Sigma, Lean, HSE and IT incident management, and it underpins ISO 9001:2015 Clause 10.2 corrective action. In Ecuador's export-driven sectors, professionals who can find and remove root causes are valued and hard to replace, making the skill a strong career investment.

    Which RCA tools does the course cover?

    The course covers a full toolkit: the 5 Whys, the Fishbone (Ishikawa) diagram, Fault Tree Analysis, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis, the 8D problem-solving method, Pareto analysis and Is/Is Not analysis. You also learn how to choose the right tool for the type and severity of a problem.

    Do I need prior experience to attend?

    No. The course has no prerequisites and introduces RCA from first principles. Some familiarity with quality or process improvement is helpful but not required, so beginners and experienced professionals both benefit.

    Is this training recognised in Ecuador?

    RCA is a globally applied problem-solving discipline used across aquaculture, food manufacturing, oil and energy, pharmaceuticals and IT. The methods you learn are recognised worldwide, and the training is delivered by Invensis Learning, an ISO 9001:2015 certified provider.

    Pricing

    How much does Root Cause Analysis training cost in Ecuador?

    Pricing depends on the delivery format (live virtual, classroom or corporate) and group size, and is quoted in US dollars, Ecuador's currency. Fees are available on request. Contact a learning advisor for current pricing and upcoming batches.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically includes instructor-led training across all six RCA modules, hands-on exercises, course materials and templates, learner support, and a course completion record from Invensis Learning. Request a quote for a full breakdown.

    Do you offer group or corporate pricing?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for quality, operations and HSE teams. It is ideal for training a whole site on one shared method. Ask about corporate pricing for your team.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, and offer instalment options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you.

    Is there any additional exam or certification fee?

    No. This is a non-certification skills course with no examination, so there is no separate exam or credential fee. The training fee is all you pay to attend and receive your course completion record.

    Assessment

    Is there an exam for this course?

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

    Do I receive a certificate after the training?

    You receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning. No formal certification is awarded by an external body, because the course builds practical skills rather than preparing you for an exam. The methods are immediately usable at work.

    How is my learning assessed during the course?

    There is no formal assessment. Instead, you apply the tools throughout the day in practical exercises: writing problem statements, running a 5 Whys and Fishbone investigation, and completing an 8D report for a realistic scenario.

    Will this help with ISO 9001 corrective action?

    Yes. RCA is the practical method behind ISO 9001:2015 Clause 10.2, which requires organisations to determine the causes of nonconformities and act to prevent recurrence. The course equips you to document and verify corrective action with a structured, evidence-based approach.

    Is a completion record enough for my role?

    For most quality, operations and HSE roles, the practical skill matters more than a credential. Employers value the ability to run investigations and prevent recurrence, and your completion record shows you have trained in a recognised RCA method.

    Course Content

    What will I learn in the Root Cause Analysis course?

    You will learn to define problems precisely, collect evidence, and apply the 5 Whys, Fishbone diagram, Fault Tree Analysis, FMEA and the 8D method. You will also learn to develop and verify corrective actions that prevent recurrence, all through hands-on exercises.

    How long is the training and how is it structured?

    The course runs for one day (8 hours) and covers six modules, from RCA principles and problem definition through the 5 Whys, Fishbone and Fault Tree Analysis, the 8D method, and corrective action and verification, with exercises throughout.

    Are the exercises hands-on and practical?

    Yes. You work through realistic problem scenarios all day, including an Is/Is Not exercise, a 5 Whys investigation, a Fishbone workshop and a complete 8D report. Corporate groups can apply the tools to their own live problems.

    Which standards and frameworks does the course reference?

    The course grounds RCA in ISO 9001:2015 Clause 10.2 corrective action and the Six Sigma DMAIC Analyse phase, and shows how RCA supports Lean, ITIL problem management and CAPA in regulated industries such as food, pharmaceuticals and medical devices.

    Is the course relevant to my industry?

    Yes. RCA applies wherever problems must be prevented, so it fits aquaculture, food and beverage, oil and energy, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing and IT. The trainer draws on scenarios relevant to Ecuador's key sectors.

    How do I enrol in the course?

    You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website. Choose your preferred format, complete payment, and you will receive access to your schedule, course materials and learning resources. See upcoming batches or talk to a learning advisor to get started.
