AS9100 Transition Training: Rev D to Rev E

The most reliable source for AS9100 updates is the current official publication and communications from IAQG, SAE International, and your certification body. QMS Learning’s available AS9100 internal-auditor course is built around AS9100D. For a Rev D-to-Rev E transition, organizations should confirm the issued revision, transition rules, effective dates, and any customer-specific requirements before revising their QMS or audit program.

QMS Learning’s current aerospace training catalog identifies AS9100D as the standard covered by its AS9100D Internal Auditor Course. Because standards and transition schedules can change, confirm the currently issued revision directly with SAE International, IAQG, or your certification body. That verification should occur before planning a Rev D-to-Rev E implementation timeline, revising controlled documents, or scheduling transition audits.

Transition training is valuable for quality managers, internal auditors, quality engineers, document-control personnel, operations leaders, and process owners who maintain or are audited against an AS9100 quality management system. Aerospace OEMs, Tier 1/2/3 suppliers, MRO and repair-station teams, and defense contractors benefit when the people responsible for procedures and evidence share a consistent understanding of the changed requirements.

A strong AS9100D foundation helps auditors understand the existing QMS, trace requirements through processes, gather objective evidence, and write effective findings. Those skills are essential during any revision transition because teams must identify gaps, verify updated controls, and confirm that new documentation works in practice. QMS Learning covers all AS9100D clauses, aerospace-specific requirements, and a mock-audit capstone.

A revision gap analysis should compare each new or changed requirement against current processes, procedures, forms, training records, supplier controls, and internal-audit criteria. Assign an owner and due date for every identified gap, then verify implementation with objective evidence. Include product safety, configuration management, traceability, risk, corrective action, and customer or regulatory requirements where they apply to your organization.

Timing depends on the number of changed requirements, process maturity, site count, customer obligations, and available internal resources. QMS Learning states that teams can become audit-ready within 30 days of rollout for its training model. A formal standard transition, however, also requires time to complete gap analysis, update controlled documents, train affected personnel, conduct internal audits, and close identified issues.

Yes. QMS Learning offers team licensing for its available courses and pathways. Pricing is provided after a 30-minute demo and is tailored to team needs. Team-based access supports role-profile onboarding, manager dashboard visibility, and consolidated audit-evidence exports, helping leaders monitor participation and outcomes without relying on scattered attendance records or manual training logs.

QMS Learning provides an Audit-Evidence Package export that can include training records, completed scenarios, AI-generated artifacts, and time-stamped activity. The Manager Dashboard also provides visibility into learner progress, capability gaps, and exam outcomes. This creates organized objective evidence of training activity and applied learning, while your organization remains responsible for demonstrating effective implementation within its own QMS.
