Construction Quality Management (CQM-C) 18-Hour Course

CQM-C Student Testimonials

     GC – “I like the thorough explanations of each topic. The teacher is so engaged in all topics. The class was not boring at all. I only dislike the big-time difference that we have.”
     MQ – “I like how quizzes for each module was enforced in order to move forward with the course. It was definitely a huge help. Kugan is a great instructor and glad I took this opportunity.”
     TC – “I had an idea about three phases of control, but once Mr. Kugan presented the aspect of DFOW and sub tasks, this clarified strongly how the process all comes together.”
     CB – “Mr. Panchadsaram is very knowledgeable and the course is very thorough. I have learned a lot. The convenience of being able to do this online is another positive for me.”
     EH – “The format is spot on for people that cannot travel across the country for a class.  The portions that Kugan has online are appropriate for distance learning, and allow for meaningful interaction for the live sessions and the materials needing dynamic presentation. Definitely 5 stars on yelp, would buy again.”
     KW – “I really like this course, this is my 3rd time with Mr. Kugan, he is very thorough and thought provoking. I really like this particular course because you can take it in 2 sections. 1 on demand and the other as a class, I feel like I got to engage with the class more via zoom. Thanks Mr. Kugan for another great class!”
     SS – “Mr. Kugan was very good at explaining the questions and informing me as to how this process works and the benefits of work with the CQC program to make me a better contractor. I liked going over the real-life situations and hearing from other professionals too!”
     ML – “The study guide is a wonderful document and Mr. Kugan is very thorough.”
     HE – “The course has proven to be extremely helpful for my career, providing me with a wealth of new knowledge.”
     AJ – “I liked having the pdf document to reference and make notes in. The interaction and group discussions helped me understand the material better.”
     GB – “Mr. Kugan, your style is amazing!! Thanks for your desire for me to learn the material and not just passing a test!!”
     KM – “I liked the 8-hour on demand training. It allowed for a self-paced process while dealing with day-to-day job requirements. The online in person session allowed for interaction with Mr. Kugan and others to discuss items from previous topics or topics discussed during live session. I will recommend to others who may need to certification in the future.”
     JM – “Before taking this course, my preference was certainly in-person.  However, this course far exceeded my expectations.  The instruction, and the rigor was superb.  I'm recommending your course to all my friends in the construction industry.  KUDOS”
     DC – “Based upon my experience with this course, I plan to use it again in 5 years for my next renewal if it is still available. Also, I will definitely recommend this course to others I know who need to take it.”
     JM – "Although this course is 100% digital and online, the format, exercises and quizzes make this course one of the most interactive engaging training courses I have taken. The information is in-depth and important items are touched on throughout the training to ensure retention."
     MS – "As you know the on-line version took longer than the 16 hours, however with that stated it is my opinion I did learn more whether from added information and/or the way it was presented. I liked the practical approach to this training, the detailed information on the QC Plan components such as the DFOW’s, subtasks, examples and how they pertain to the Three Phases of Control, and the NAS Schedule. My understanding of Planning & Control as it applies to the QC Program is now at a higher level after this course. The information about the Government QA side that they should have the DFOW’s, and various other background insight is helpful."
     AK – "The best aspect of the course was the communication line between You and the student. I appreciated that we could reach out at any time for help. I am very satisfied. Thank you! I hope you stay safe during this troubling time, and I appreciate what you are doing."
     KC – "The Kugan CQC course is much more comprehensive from the in-person courses that I have taken in the past. I wish that this was my 1st introduction to CQM. I would have had a better understanding of QCM and reduced by mistakes over the years."
     EP – "I especially liked how Kugan kept me on my toes with his training style. I appreciate the deep respect that he has for the QC/QA system as it relates to projects. His training empowers QCMs to fulfill their employers’ contractual responsibilities, and protects the interests of all customers. This, by far, is one of the absolute best courses I have ever taken. You are guaranteed to learn and be steered in the path of success. Much respect, Kugan!"                                                                                                   
     SG – "I liked the very detailed presentation of each module and it covered all the requirements and expectations by providing various examples and scenarios that helped with a better understanding of why each element of the QC program is needed and important for a successful project. I didn’t find weak aspects. I’ve been through several rounds of QCM training over the last 20 years and I feel that this material and format explained it very well, and everyone involved in projects that apply these principles and program should take this training. I’m very satisfied with this course and I will highly recommend it to others."
     RV – "As always Mr. Kugan has developed a program that is thorough and very precise extremely knowledgeable. I have taken this course at least 5 times from MR. Kugan and twice from other instructors in NAVFAV since I am a current Government employee and it always amazes me how this refresher course teaches me each time. I salute Mr. Kugan on this presentation. AS stated earlier I am personally extremely pleased with the overall quality of this course and being a current Government employee I personally would stress that all technical personnel as well as acquisition personnel should be required to take this course it could be an eye opener for all."
     HL – "Mr. Kugan, Thank you very much for the course, I truly enjoyed it. I like the fact that you use real examples to explain all of the different situations that one can encounter at the jobsite. I’ve definitely learned and relearned many aspects of Quality Control Management through this course. Having been a COR for a few years, this course has given me a more solid foundation on how to better oversee contracts on behalf of the USG. Thank you very much."
     JC – "1) The overall design of the course and the way it’s presented, so format was best aspect. 2) It’s not so much that there was a weak aspect…there really wasn’t any. It was more like some areas were more challenging than others. (a good thing!) 3) Very satisfied with quality… always kept me interested and certainly raised the concentration levels! What an excellent adaption from classroom to online… almost like I was right there. 4) This course kept me on the edge of my seat, so to speak, in its entirety. Best online course I’ve ever taken! I will definitely be a returning student whether on line or in the classroom. Well done, Kugan! You’re certainly a treasure to our line of work."
     ST – "What I liked about the course was that it was complete in every detail. This course was designed and taught well enough that someone with no background in Construction Quality Management could complete the course and be well versed in all aspects. I have taken the course a couple of times in person and Kugan is a great instructor, he keeps everyone involved and makes it interesting. Very satisfied with the course. Also very satisfied with Kugan not accepting mediocre work."
     MO – "I really enjoyed this course. Usually, online trainings are not good. People usually run the training videos in the background and then answer multiple choice questions at the end. There’s no learning. However, this course was an entirely different experience. The way it was set up made it feel like I was having one-on-one training. Kugan made himself available and answered any questions promptly via email or by phone. It shows that Kugan is truly dedicated to teaching."
     SP – "I appreciated the time spent to highlight aspects and intentions of the documents being discussed and that you related them to real life situations. Knowing that I could contact you (and did) was huge. That accomplished a couple of things, it let me know I had a great instructor and also that I would be held to full account."
     KJ – "I very much liked the detail that Kugan used. He covered every part of the material at least 3 different ways, to drill the information into my head! This is the third time I have taken this course; the first two times was in Virginia in Classroom. This time online with Kugan was far more instructional, Informative. I got much more out of Kugan’s Course. I feel that I can do my QCM job better from this point on. I would recommend this course to others in my field. I would take this Course again and I look forward to taking other online course from Kugan i.e. Safety Courses etc."
     RA – "Overall I liked everything about the course. The way Kugan explained information and reference modules to each other. He made it easy to follow along. I do not think there should be anything changed, I liked it. He made himself available if he did have questions. I was very satisfied with the course."
     DT – "This online version was very similar to the actual classroom experience when I flew to San Diego years back. I enjoyed the structure and way it was easy to Hop around the pdf documents in order to mark up for note taking."
     DH – "This course was one of the most through and challenging online classes that I have ever taken. Material was very well presented. You as an instructor showed great passion for the subject."
     MJ – "The primary aspect of the course that impressed most was the thorough nature of the course material. During my study phase for the test I was even more impressed by the amount of knowledge shared and the effective nature of the material. I learned a lot and retained a lot, rare in on-line courses. The downloads were very well done and essential to follow-up reviews after completing a module and final exam preparation."
     DP – "Thank you. I really enjoyed this online course. I felt it was more 1 on 1 with teacher / student allowing for a more engaging interaction rather than a classroom type of lecture. The only thing missed was the snacks LOL."
     HM – "I wish this was offered online during regular time as well. Overall I was very satisfied with this course & I really learned a lot. I will apply what I learned to be a better person & help out the Federal Project I’m currently doing in Texas."
