    What Is Root Cause Analysis?A Problem-Solving Discipline for Icelandic Industry

    Root Cause Analysis (RCA) Training in Iceland is a practical, one-day programme that teaches you to look past the symptoms of a problem and find the fundamental cause, so it never returns. You learn a complete RCA toolkit: the 5 Whys, the Fishbone (Ishikawa) diagram, Fault Tree Analysis, FMEA and the 8D problem-solving method, and how to choose the right tool for each problem. RCA is a core quality-management discipline used across Iceland's aluminium smelters, seafood processors, geothermal and hydropower utilities, pharmaceutical and medical-device makers, and healthcare and IT teams. It underpins ISO 9001 corrective action (Clause 10.2), the Six Sigma Analyse phase and every CAPA process, giving professionals a structured way to investigate defects, incidents and failures. Whether you are a quality engineer in Reykjavik, a production supervisor at a coastal processing plant, or an operations lead in energy, this training builds a skill you can apply the very next day. Learn with Invensis Learning and turn recurring problems into permanent fixes.

    The RCA Tools You Will MasterA Complete Problem-Solving Toolkit

    This RCA training gives you a complete, practical problem-solving toolkit. By the end of the one-day programme you can define a problem, choose the right tool, run the investigation and verify the fix. Here are the skills covered in Root Cause Analysis training.

    Define the Problem Precisely

    Write clear, factual problem statements and use Is/Is Not analysis to set the boundary of an investigation, so your team works on the right problem before it starts searching for causes.

    The 5 Whys Technique

    Drill from symptom to root cause with iterative questioning, learn how to recognise a true systemic cause, and avoid the common trap of stopping at blame or human error.

    Fishbone (Ishikawa) Diagrams

    Facilitate structured brainstorming across the 6M categories (Man, Machine, Method, Material, Measurement and Environment) to map every possible cause of a complex, multi-factor problem.

    Fault Tree Analysis and FMEA

    Apply top-down Fault Tree Analysis with AND and OR logic for safety-critical events, and use FMEA to prioritise corrective actions by risk in reliability-driven industries.

    The 8D Problem-Solving Method

    Work through all eight disciplines, from team formation and interim containment to root cause, permanent corrective action and preventing recurrence, using the manufacturing and automotive standard.

    Corrective Action and Verification

    Develop effective corrective actions, verify they actually work rather than assuming, and embed findings into ISO 9001 Clause 10.2 and CAPA processes so problems do not return.

    Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

    Root Cause Analysis is a structured way to find the fundamental cause of a problem, defect or incident, rather than treating the symptom. This one-day training teaches a toolkit of RCA methods so you can investigate problems and prevent them from recurring.

    General

    What is Root Cause Analysis (RCA)?

    Root Cause Analysis is a structured way to find the fundamental cause of a problem, defect or incident, rather than treating the symptom. This one-day training teaches a toolkit of RCA methods so you can investigate problems and prevent them from recurring.

    Is RCA training worth it?

    Yes. RCA is a practical, cross-sector skill you can apply immediately at work. For Icelandic quality, operations and safety teams it reduces costly rework, downtime and repeat incidents, and it strengthens ISO 9001 and CAPA compliance.

    Who should attend RCA training in Iceland?

    The course suits quality engineers and managers, production supervisors, operations and maintenance leads, health and safety managers, IT and incident managers, and anyone who investigates problems in manufacturing, energy, seafood, pharmaceuticals or services.

    Do I need prior experience or qualifications?

    No. There are no prerequisites. The training introduces RCA methods and tools from first principles, so beginners and experienced professionals both benefit. Some familiarity with quality or process improvement helps but is not required.

    What RCA tools does the course cover?

    The training covers the 5 Whys, the Fishbone (Ishikawa) diagram, Fault Tree Analysis, FMEA in the RCA context, and the 8D problem-solving method, plus Is/Is Not analysis, corrective action and verification. You learn when to use each tool.

    Pricing

    How much does RCA training cost in Iceland?

    Course fees vary by delivery format (live virtual, classroom or corporate onsite) and group size. Public and group pricing is available on request. Contact a learning advisor for a quote tailored to you or your team.

    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.

    Do you offer group or corporate discounts?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with pricing based on team size and delivery format. Training your team together on your own real problems gives immediate return. Ask about a group quote.

    Are there any extra costs beyond the training fee?

    No. RCA is a non-certification skills course, so there is no external exam or awarding-body fee. You pay only the training fee for your chosen format. Request a quote for full details.

    How do I pay for the training?

    We accept major cards and bank transfer, with instalment options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you or your organisation.

    Assessment

    Is there an exam for RCA training?

    No. This is a non-certification course with no examination. Learning is reinforced through hands-on exercises and case-study investigations across the one-day programme, so you practise each RCA tool as you learn it.

    Do I get a certificate after the training?

    You receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning. No external certification or credential is awarded, because RCA training is a practical skills course rather than an accredited qualification.

    How am I assessed on the course?

    There is no formal assessment. You apply the tools through practical exercises: an Is/Is Not problem-definition activity, a 5 Whys investigation, a Fishbone workshop and an 8D report on a realistic scenario.

    Will I be able to use RCA at work straight away?

    Yes. By the end of the day you can define a problem, choose the right tool, run an investigation and verify the fix. Many learners apply the 5 Whys or an 8D to a real problem the same week.

    Does the training support ISO 9001 and CAPA?

    Yes. The course maps directly to ISO 9001 corrective action (Clause 10.2) and to CAPA in regulated industries, giving you a documented, defensible method for root-cause investigation.

    Course Content

    What will I learn in RCA training?

    You learn to define problems, collect evidence, and apply the 5 Whys, Fishbone diagram, Fault Tree Analysis, FMEA and the 8D method, then develop and verify corrective actions. The course covers all six RCA modules in one day.

    How long is the RCA training?

    The programme runs for one day (eight hours), covering RCA principles, problem definition, the 5 Whys, Fishbone and advanced tools, the 8D method, and corrective action and verification, with hands-on exercises throughout.

    Are there practical exercises?

    Yes. The training is hands-on throughout, with exercises on problem definition, a 5 Whys investigation, Fishbone facilitation and an 8D report, so you practise every tool on realistic problems.

    Is the course suitable for beginners?

    Yes. RCA methods are taught from first principles, so newcomers to quality and problem-solving can follow easily, while experienced professionals gain a broader, more structured toolkit.

    What materials are provided?

    You receive course materials, RCA templates and worked examples for the 5 Whys, Fishbone, Fault Tree Analysis and 8D that you can reuse at work, plus learner support after the training.

    Enrollment

    How do I enrol in RCA training in Iceland?

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

    What delivery formats are available?

    The training is available as live virtual (online) instructor-led sessions, in-person classroom training, and corporate onsite delivery for teams across Iceland. Choose the format that fits your schedule.

    When can I start?

    New public sessions are scheduled regularly, and corporate sessions can be arranged around your team's availability. See upcoming schedules or ask an advisor about the next available dates.

    Can you train my whole team onsite?

    Yes. We deliver onsite and live virtual group training tailored to your sector and your real problems, which is the most effective way to build an RCA culture across a team. Request a group quote.

    What is your reschedule or refund policy?

    Rescheduling and refunds follow our published policy, and selected plans include flexible reschedule options. Contact our team for the details that apply to your booking.
