    What Is Root Cause Analysis and Why It Matters at WorkA Practical Problem-Solving Toolkit

    Root Cause Analysis (RCA) Training is a practical, one-day programme that teaches professionals across the Slovak Republic how to investigate problems, uncover their underlying causes and put in place corrective actions that stop them recurring. Instead of treating symptoms, you learn to separate the symptom from the immediate cause and the true root cause using structured tools. The course builds a complete problem-solving toolkit: the 5 Whys, the Fishbone (Ishikawa) diagram, Fault Tree Analysis, FMEA in an RCA context and the 8D methodology, all mapped to the six-step RCA investigation cycle. Every technique is grounded in recognised quality practice, including the ISO 9001:2015 corrective action requirement (Clause 10.2), the Six Sigma DMAIC Analyse phase and CAPA in regulated industries. Ideal for quality, operations, engineering and health and safety teams in Slovakia's automotive, electronics and manufacturing sectors, the training is skills-focused with no examination. You take part in hands-on exercises throughout and receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning.

    The RCA Tools You Will MasterA Complete Problem-Solving Toolkit

    This programme gives you a complete, practical problem-solving toolkit. By the end you can define a problem, select and apply the right RCA tool, identify and verify root causes, and develop corrective actions that prevent recurrence, all reinforced through hands-on exercises.

    Define Problems Precisely

    What you will learn starts here: how to write a clear, factual problem statement and use Is / Is Not analysis to set the boundary of a problem. A well-defined problem is half solved, and this is the foundation every effective RCA investigation depends on.

    Apply the 5 Whys Technique

    Drill from an observable symptom to the true root cause with iterative why questioning. You learn how to recognise a genuine root cause, avoid stopping at blame, verify the cause chain and know when the 5 Whys is the right tool and when it is not.

    Build Fishbone (Ishikawa) Diagrams

    Structure and facilitate cause-and-effect analysis across the 6M categories for complex, multi-cause problems. You practise running a team Fishbone workshop, drilling each branch and validating the most likely root causes with evidence.

    Run Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)

    Apply top-down, deductive analysis using AND and OR logic gates to map every pathway that can lead to an undesired event. FTA is ideal for safety-critical incidents and complex system failures where multiple causes interact.

    Use FMEA in Investigations

    Apply Failure Mode and Effects Analysis both proactively and retrospectively, using the Risk Priority Number (Severity, Occurrence, Detection) to prioritise corrective actions after an incident and strengthen the controls that should have caught it.

    Lead 8D Problem Solving

    Work through all eight disciplines, from team formation and interim containment to root cause, permanent corrective action, prevention and closure. 8D is the structured format automotive and manufacturing customers expect for quality claims.

    Develop and Verify Corrective Actions

    Turn findings into effective corrective actions that address the verified root cause, do not create new problems and are sustainable. You learn the difference between verification and validation and how to confirm a fix has truly worked.

    Embed RCA, ISO 9001 and CAPA

    Connect your investigations to the ISO 9001:2015 corrective action requirement (Clause 10.2) and to CAPA in regulated industries, and learn how to build a lessons-learned, prevention-first RCA culture across the organisation.

    The training suits quality engineers and managers, production supervisors, operations professionals, Six Sigma practitioners, health and safety managers, IT and service managers, and anyone responsible for investigating problems and preventing recurrence. No prior quality knowledge is required.

    Do I need any prerequisites to join?

    No. There are no formal prerequisites. The course introduces RCA methodology and tools from first principles, so it is open to professionals at any level who deal with problems, defects or incidents in their organisation.

    Which RCA tools does the course cover?

    It covers the core RCA toolkit: the 5 Whys for simple, single-cause problems; the Fishbone (Ishikawa) diagram for complex, multi-cause problems; Fault Tree Analysis for safety-critical events; FMEA for prioritising corrective actions; and the 8D methodology for team-based, structured corrective action.

    Pricing

    How much does the Root Cause Analysis course cost in Slovakia?

    Pricing varies by delivery format (live virtual, classroom or onsite corporate) and group size, and is quoted in euro for the Slovak market. The fee includes trainer-led sessions, courseware and hands-on exercises. Contact us for current pricing or request a quote.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically includes instructor-led training, structured courseware and learning resources, hands-on RCA exercises and case-study investigations, and a course completion record from Invensis Learning. Ask a learning advisor for the exact inclusions for your chosen format.

    Do you offer group or corporate discounts?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for quality, operations or cross-functional teams. Request a tailored group quote for your team.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, with options that vary by region and enrolment type. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you.

    Is there a fee to sit an exam?

    No. This is a non-certification skills course with no examination, so there is no exam fee. The cost covers the practical training and materials only. Learning is reinforced through hands-on exercises rather than a test.

    Assessment

    Is there an exam at the end of the course?

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

    Do I receive a certificate after completing the training?

    You receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning. No formal certification or credential is awarded by an external body, because this is a practical skills programme rather than an accredited examination course.

    How is my learning assessed?

    There is no formal assessment. Instead, you apply each RCA tool during hands-on exercises, including an Is / Is Not activity, a 5 Whys investigation, a Fishbone workshop and an 8D report for a realistic scenario, so you practise the methods as you learn them.

    Will I be able to run an RCA investigation afterwards?

    Yes. By the end of the programme you can define a problem precisely, select and apply the right RCA tool, identify and verify root causes, complete an 8D report and develop corrective actions you can verify, ready to use at work immediately.

    Does this training support ISO 9001 and CAPA compliance?

    Yes. The course grounds RCA in the ISO 9001:2015 corrective action requirement (Clause 10.2) and in CAPA as used in regulated industries, so you can carry out structured, documented investigations that support your quality management system.

    Course Content

    What will I learn in the Root Cause Analysis course?

    You will learn to define problems and collect evidence, apply the 5 Whys, build Fishbone diagrams, run Fault Tree Analysis, use FMEA, work through all eight disciplines of 8D, and develop and verify corrective actions, all mapped to the six-step RCA investigation cycle.

    How long is the training and how is it delivered?

    The programme runs for one day (about eight hours) and is available in live virtual, classroom and onsite corporate formats. Hands-on RCA exercises and case-study investigations run throughout the day.

    Is the course relevant beyond manufacturing?

    Yes. While automotive and manufacturing are core users, RCA applies wherever problems must be prevented, including electronics, pharmaceuticals and medical devices, healthcare, IT service management, financial services and the public sector.

    Are the sessions hands-on or theory based?

    They are hands-on. You practise each tool on realistic problem scenarios, facilitate a Fishbone session, complete an 8D report and plan verified corrective actions, so the emphasis is on applying the methods rather than memorising theory.

    How does this differ from a Six Sigma or 7 QC Tools course?

    This course is a focused deep-dive into the full RCA toolkit, including FTA and 8D at greater depth. It complements 7 QC Tools and Lean Six Sigma training, where RCA sits within the DMAIC Analyse phase, and works well alongside them.
