Do you prefer virtual training?

Did you know that you can learn TapRooT® Root Cause Analysis through virtual training? Our Virtual 3-Day TapRooT® Root Cause Analysis Training takes the 2-Day TapRooT® Training and makes it an interactive, live, virtual course for those that can’t attend the in-person training.

The Virtual 3-Day TapRooT® Root Cause Analysis Course focuses on the essential TapRooT® Techniques needed to investigate low-to-medium risk incidents and precursor incidents. Our 5-Step investigation process simplifies the TapRooT® System to make the investigation efficient yet effective. The training focuses on understanding what happened, identifying Causal Factors, analyzing the Causal Factors using the Root Cause Tree®, and developing effective fixes using the Corrective Action Helper® Guide.

Attendees should bring an incident from their facility for a team exercise. These may be either written reports or they may have knowledge of an incident with no written report. We divide into teams of 2-4 people and have each team analyze a different problem during the course.

There will be continuous opportunities for participation, with plenty of breaks to keep everyone engaged. Team exercises will be completed throughout the course and will utilize cloud-based TapRooT® Software.

Post-Course Investigation Coaching

After the course is complete, the student can schedule an approximately 30-minute long review of their first application of the TapRooT® System to investigate an incident or to perform an audit.

A TapRooT® Expert will review the student’s SnapCharT®, Causal Factors, root causes (use of the Root Cause Tree®, and corrective actions (use of the Corrective Action Helper®). The student can ask questions and will receive advice to improve the future use of the TapRooT® System in investigations.

We have found that this review and coaching are very valuable and provides one more virtual face-to-face learning opportunity after the information from the course has been allowed to sink in and then be applied in a real-world situation.
