Education for Engineers and the Leaders that guide them
Every day, medical devices quietly perform miracles. They give sight to those in darkness, restore mobility to the weary, and offer precious moments to families facing uncertain tomorrows. Behind each innovation stands a team dedicated to one profound purpose: easing human suffering. From the simplest bandage to the most sophisticated implant, these technologies don't just impact life—they restore dignity, rekindle hope, and remind us that human ingenuity, at its finest, is an act of compassion. This is why we do what we do.
Our methods have been tested and validated with agencies and regulatory bodies worldwide. We help minimize rework, avoid failed submissions, and keep projects moving.
Our education covers all phases of the medical device life cycle
Organize the chaos of device development - Reduce cost, minimize disruption, and establish predictable timelines for your device launches.
DFMEA is a systematic, team-based method for identifying potential failures in product designs, assessing their severity, occurrence, and detection difficulty, and prioritizing design changes to prevent failures before production.
Prevent recalls, protect brand reputation, and ensure devices are robust for regulatory submissions.
Reduce manufacturing costs, minimize production disruptions, and engineer predictable manufacturing processes.
Our courses can be bundled based on your role to support serious professional development

These aren't theoretical lectures; they are the career-work of Dr. John Salvato. With a PhD in engineering and 30+ years of front-line experience—including ISO 13485 Lead Auditor, ISO 14971, and Cybersecurity Risk Management—John doesn’t just teach the regulations; he has defended these exact methods to global regulators. You are learning from an expert who has survived the audits you are preparing for.
Unlike "sterile" online platforms, DQS offers a Value Ladder of support. Every course includes direct access to a live expert before and after your training. You get the same "office hours" experience you’d expect from a $10k on-site consultant, ensuring you can bridge the gap between course material and your specific technical challenges.
Yes. All courses are on demand, so you can complete them around your personal schedule and project deadlines. Course length varies by topic — the material is based on live DQS training that follows a 16 to 20-hour format. Most learners complete a course within 2–4 weeks. DQS gives you a generous 60 days to complete each course, as we understand you are a busy professional interested in career development.
Yes. All courses align with 21 CFR 820, QMSR, ISO 13485, ISO 14971, IEC 62366-1, SW96, and FDA guidance documents. Content is updated as regulations evolve — you’re learning current requirements, not outdated interpretations. The templates included have been evaluated and accepted by FDA, notified bodies, and regulatory authorities worldwide.
Yes. We offer volume pricing for teams of any size. Each team member gets their own login, access to all course materials and downloadable resources, and direct expert support. It’s a cost-effective way to build consistent skills across your engineering, quality, and regulatory teams. For large enough orders, we can customize the course examples and language.
Yes. Each team member receives a certificate documenting the course completed, date, and hours of instruction. These certificates can be used for training records and competency documentation required under ISO 13485 and FDA QMSR — ready for your next audit.
