Quality Assurance Managers usually have technical or trade qualifications in their industry as well as formal qualifications in Quality Assurance. We recommend the Diploma of Quality Auditing. This course takes 12-18 months to complete. You’ll also need advanced business writing skills so a Certificate III in Business will help get your keyboarding and writing skills up to speed.

Quality Assurance Manager careers

Quality Assurance Managers are responsible for an organisation’s quality standards and production-related compliance. Depending on the industry they work in they may be implementing HCCP, food standards, chemical controls, or Australian Safety Standards. QA Managers are usually involved in the training of line staff so they understand how to implement quality standards during their day-to-day work.

As a Quality Assurance Manager you could be arranging an audit inspection of manufacturing and production areas, reviewing an operational procedure against an updated Australian Standard, or preparing quality and compliance reports for the executive team or General Manager.
