According to AISC I have to conduct yearly training for a lot of different people at my job to maintain our Simple Bridge Cert. Im looking for suggestions as to what I can train project managers in. Im very new to this and have never taught a class before, but this only has to last 30 minutes. Thank you all in advance.

I never had to train our project managers under the AISC certification. When did they start this, or does your quality manual say something to this effect?

Maybe pick a topic out of your quality manual and just go over the basics of that topic. (ie welding/fabrication, or application of coatings, etc...) Pick a new topic over the course of the next few years to keep the training going and then start back over as refreshers.

its a requirement because we have the Simple Bridge cert.

I'm just asking what part of the AISC program is this requirement from?
I have been involved with Building and Bridge AISC certifications for several fabricators and helped all of these people become AISC certified so I'm familiar with them. I'm apparently overlooking something in the training of personnel as we have never had to show annual training for the project managers vs documenting their qualifications in the company's quality manual. Production personnel is another matter and the annual training requirement is understood.

AISC 207-16 Certification Standard for Steel Fabrication and Erection, and Manufacturing of Metal Components.  December 5, 2016.   Training Sect. 1.18 states that personnel responsible for functions that affect quality, including, but not limited to, project managers, field/shop supervisors, detailers, inspectors, welding personnel, fitters, painters, riggers, signal persons, and crane operators, shall receive appropriate initial and periodic documented training.

Okay, I see what they're saying.  Yes, each department can train its people. Maybe we flood the auditors with so much info they didn't notice the project managers. Although, we have other departments conduct the internal audits on other departments so I suppose you could count that as training too.

Just thinking out loud....

Project management focuses on breaking down tasks and monitoring them against Cost, Scope, Schedule (Project Management Triangle).  Quality is in the middle of the triangle because all 3 can affect it.

I would add the triangle to your slides to your 30 min presentation.  In class, have the Project guys tell you how the 3 affect quality (classroom participation).
