Re: Quality question

Quality assurance refers to planned and systematic production processes that provide confidence in a product's suitability for its intended purpose.

Quality management is a step above that and has three main components: quality control, quality assurance and quality improvement.
 
Is it possibe to do a quality management course before a quality assurance course. It's just the management course is on in my area but the assurance course is at least 2 hours drive away. Would the quality management course further a carear on its own?
