About this course

AS9100D is the quality management standard that aviation, space and defense customers write into their contracts. It contains every requirement of ISO 9001:2015 and adds the controls the industry learned it needed: operational risk management, configuration management, product safety, counterfeit part prevention, first article inspection and strict rules on nonconforming product.

This course takes you through the standard clause by clause in plain language. You will see exactly where the aerospace additions sit, why customers asked for them and what they look like in a working machine shop, electronics assembler or design house.

You will also learn how the certification scheme works: the IAQG, the OASIS database, the 9101 audit method with its process effectiveness reports, and the oversight that keeps certification bodies and auditors accountable. Customer-specific requirements from the major primes are introduced at awareness level.

The course closes with a 20-question examination drawn from a bank of 30. On passing you receive a PlanetISO Certificate of Completion with lifetime access to the course content and your certificate.

What you will be able to do

Explain how AS9100D relates to ISO 9001:2015 and to the 9110 and 9120 standards.
Describe the role of the IAQG, the ICOP certification scheme and the OASIS database.
Identify the aerospace additions in clauses 4 to 7, including the management representative role and calibration recall.
Summarize the operational requirements for risk, configuration management, product safety and counterfeit prevention.
Explain what must be flowed down to external providers and how first article inspection verifies a production process.
State the rules for release documentation, dispositions of nonconforming product and customer notification.
Describe how certification audits are conducted under 9101, including PEARs and nonconformity classification.

About 35 minutes, then a module quiz
Final examination and certificate
20 questions drawn from the course bank. Score 70% or higher to receive your Certificate of Completion.

Who it is for

Quality, manufacturing and supply chain staff new to aerospace
Managers preparing an organization for first AS9100D certification
Sales, programme and engineering staff who need to read customer flow-down requirements
Suppliers to aerospace primes who have been asked to become certified

Prerequisites

None. Some exposure to a quality management system is helpful but not required.

Questions

Do I need to own a copy of AS9100D to take this course?

No. The course paraphrases every requirement you need. If you implement the standard at work, your organization should buy the current edition from SAE, ASD-STAN or JSA.

Is this course based on ISO 9001:2015 or ISO 9001:2026?

AS9100D is built on ISO 9001:2015, so that is the base we teach. The IAQG is revising the 9100 series, and the successor will be published as IA9100. The IAQG planned that revision to align with the ISO 9001 revision, so we cover it as an outlook only. Until IA9100 is published and the IAQG's transition rules apply, AS9100D is the standard organizations certify to.

What certificate do I receive?

You receive a PlanetISO Certificate of Completion showing the course title, your name and your exam result. It is not an auditor authentication under 9104-003 and does not make you an Aerospace Experienced Auditor. It is evidence of training that you can include in a competence record.

How long do I have access?

Lifetime access to the course and your certificate. You can revisit any module and download your certificate at any time.

What happens if I fail the exam?

You have 3 attempts. Each attempt draws a different 20-question set from the bank, and module quizzes can be retaken without limit to prepare.

Does this course cover AS9120B for distributors?

It explains how 9120 relates to 9100 but does not teach distributor-specific requirements. PlanetISO offers a separate Introduction to AS9120B.
