    What Is Root Cause Analysis and Why It MattersFixing Causes, Not Symptoms

    The Root Cause Analysis (RCA) Training in France from Invensis Learning is a practical, one-day programme that teaches professionals how to investigate problems, identify their underlying causes and put corrective actions in place that prevent recurrence. Rather than treating symptoms, you learn to separate the symptom, the immediate cause and the true root cause, then apply the right tool to each problem. The course builds a complete RCA toolkit: the 5 Whys, the Fishbone (Ishikawa) diagram, Fault Tree Analysis, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis, Pareto analysis and the 8D problem-solving method. It also shows how structured root cause investigation underpins corrective action under ISO 9001:2015 (Clause 10.2), the Analyse phase of Six Sigma DMAIC, Lean, ITIL problem management and regulated CAPA processes. This is a non-certification skills course: there is no exam, and participants receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning. It suits quality engineers, operations and continuous improvement professionals across France's manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, pharmaceutical and service sectors who want to solve recurring problems for good.

    From Firefighting to Root Cause Mastery

    Your Before and After

    French industry is under pressure to cut waste, meet customer quality demands and prevent costly recurrence. Employers increasingly separate professionals who can find and fix root causes from those who only treat symptoms. Here is which side of that line you want to be on.

    The RCA Tools You Will MasterApplied to Real Problems

    In this Root Cause Analysis course you will learn to define problems precisely, investigate them with proven tools, and build corrective actions that prevent recurrence. By the end of the one-day programme you can select and apply the right RCA method for any problem you face.

    Problem Definition and Is/Is Not Analysis

    Write a precise, factual problem statement and use Is/Is Not analysis to narrow down where a problem does and does not occur, so your investigation starts on solid ground.

    The 5 Whys Technique

    Apply iterative why questioning to drill from a symptom to the true root cause of simple, single-cause problems, and recognise when an investigation has stopped too early or slipped into blame.

    Fishbone (Ishikawa) Diagram

    Facilitate cause-and-effect workshops across the 6M categories to surface and organise every potential cause of complex, multi-cause problems, then drill each branch down to its root.

    Fault Tree Analysis and FMEA

    Use top-down Fault Tree Analysis with AND/OR logic for safety-critical events, and apply Failure Mode and Effects Analysis to prioritise corrective actions by risk.

    The 8D Problem-Solving Method

    Work through all eight disciplines, from team formation and interim containment to root cause, permanent corrective action and prevention, the format automotive and aerospace customers expect.

    Corrective Action and Verification

    Develop effective corrective actions, verify they eliminate the root cause, and connect your work to ISO 9001:2015 Clause 10.2 and regulated CAPA processes.

    What Our Learners Say

    The Tools Finally Clicked

    "The way each RCA tool was taught with real examples made everything click. I now run 5 Whys and Fishbone sessions with my team and we actually get to the root cause instead of arguing about symptoms."

    Camille Laurent

    Quality Engineer, Aerospace

    0/0

    8D Is No Longer Intimidating

    "As a supplier we get 8D requests from our automotive customers all the time. After this course I can lead a full 8D from containment to prevention with confidence, and my reports are far more credible."

    Thomas Moreau

    Continuous Improvement Specialist

    0/0

    Practical and Hands-On

    "One focused day, packed with practice. The Is/Is Not and Fault Tree exercises were the most useful for me. I applied the approach to a recurring defect on my line the following week."

    Sophie Dubois

    Production Supervisor

    0/0

    Fewer Repeat Issues

    "We trained our quality and maintenance teams together. Investigations are now structured and documented, and repeat incidents have clearly dropped across the plant. Well worth the day."

    Julien Fabre

    Operations Manager, Manufacturing

    0/0

    Stronger Audits and CAPA

    "The onsite delivery fitted our schedule and used our own problems as case studies. Our ISO 9001 corrective actions and CAPA records are far more robust now, which showed in our last audit."

    General

    What is Root Cause Analysis training?

    Root Cause Analysis training is a practical, one-day course that teaches you how to investigate problems, find their underlying causes and put corrective actions in place that prevent recurrence. It covers tools such as the 5 Whys, Fishbone diagram, Fault Tree Analysis, FMEA and 8D.

    Is Root Cause Analysis training worth it?

    Yes. RCA is a core, transferable skill across French manufacturing, aerospace, pharmaceutical and service sectors. It helps you cut repeat defects and downtime, meet customer 8D and ISO 9001 requirements, and stand out for quality and operations roles.

    Are there flexible payment options available?

    We accept major cards and bank transfers, and offer flexible options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to find the arrangement that suits you or your organisation.

    Is there a separate exam fee?

    No. RCA is a non-certification course, so there is no exam and no separate exam fee. You pay only for the training itself.

    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 throughout the one-day programme.

    Will I receive a certificate?

    You receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning after completing the training. This is not a certification or accredited credential; it recognises the practical RCA skills you have built.

    How is learning assessed?

    There is no formal assessment. Instead, you apply multiple RCA tools to realistic problem scenarios during the day, including Is/Is Not, 5 Whys, Fishbone and an 8D report, so you practise the skills as you learn them.

    How long is the training?

    The course runs for one day, around eight hours, covering RCA principles, problem definition, the 5 Whys, Fishbone and Fault Tree Analysis, FMEA, the 8D method, and corrective action and verification.

    Do the skills expire or need renewal?

    No. There is no credential to maintain or renew. The RCA methodology and tools you learn are immediately applicable and stay relevant throughout your career.

    Course Content

    What will I learn in the 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, then develop and verify corrective actions that prevent recurrence.

    Which RCA tools are covered and how do they differ?

    The 5 Whys suits simple problems, the Fishbone diagram organises complex multi-cause problems, Fault Tree Analysis handles safety-critical events, FMEA prioritises actions by risk, and 8D provides a structured team-based corrective-action format.

    Are there hands-on exercises?

    Yes. The day is built around practice: an Is/Is Not problem definition exercise, a 5 Whys investigation, a Fishbone workshop, an 8D report and corrective-action planning on realistic scenarios.

    Does the course cover 8D problem-solving?

    Yes. You work through all eight disciplines, from team formation and interim containment to root cause, permanent corrective action, prevention and closure, the format automotive and aerospace customers expect from suppliers.

    How does RCA relate to ISO 9001 and CAPA?

    RCA provides the structured investigation behind corrective action. The course shows how it satisfies ISO 9001:2015 Clause 10.2 and the investigation step of CAPA in regulated pharma and medical-device environments.
