Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
API Specification Q1 is a manufacturing-focused Quality Management System (QMS) standard developed by the American Petroleum Institute (API) for organizations supplying products and services to the oil & gas industry. Unlike generic quality standards, API Q1 places strong emphasis on risk management, contingency planning, supplier control, traceability, and prevention of nonconforming products, making it critical for safety-critical manufacturing environments.
This course provides a complete, practical, and clause-by-clause explanation of API Specification Q1, guiding learners from fundamental concepts to advanced implementation and audit readiness. The course is structured to support beginners, intermediate professionals, and advanced practitioners, ensuring a smooth learning progression regardless of prior experience with API standards.
You will begin by understanding the role of API in the oil & gas industry, the purpose and scope of API Specification Q1, and how it differs from ISO 9001. From there, the course walks you through each clause of API Q1, explaining not only what the standard requires, but also why those requirements exist and how they should be applied in real manufacturing operations.
Strong emphasis is placed on risk-based thinking, including manufacturing risk, product risk, and contingency planning. You will learn how to identify critical risks, establish effective controls, and ensure business continuity in line with API Q1 expectations. The course also covers supplier evaluation and control, production planning, process control, calibration, identification and traceability, and management of nonconforming products.
To ensure audit readiness, this course includes detailed guidance on internal audits, management review, performance evaluation, corrective actions, and continual improvement. Common API Q1 audit nonconformities are discussed with practical insights on how to avoid them. Real-world manufacturing examples and audit scenarios help translate the standard into actionable implementation steps.
By the end of this course, you will be fully equipped to implement, maintain, and improve an API Q1-compliant Quality Management System, confidently prepare for API certification audits, and align API Q1 with ISO 9001 for an integrated management system. This course is ideal for professionals and organizations aiming to achieve regulatory compliance, operational excellence, and global credibility in the oil & gas manufacturing sector.
