Session-by-Session Breakdown

Each session builds on the previous one. Participants apply the methodology progressively, finishing with a mock facilitation exercise.

Session 1: Foundations of Effective Root Cause Analysis

4 hours, live via Zoom

  • Why most RCA approaches fail to prevent recurrence
  • The Apollo methodology: four stages from problem definition to effective solution
  • Defining a problem statement that focuses the investigation
  • Introduction to RC Pro: setting up your first investigation
  • Building an event timeline from available evidence

Session 2: Building RealityCharts and Identifying Causes

4 hours, live via Zoom

  • Cause-and-effect thinking beyond linear “5 Whys” chains
  • Constructing a RealityChart in RC Pro: conditional and action causes
  • Evidence types and how to validate each cause
  • Identifying causal relationships that traditional methods miss
  • Guided exercise: building a RealityChart from a case study

Session 3: Solutions, Reporting, and Facilitation Practice

4 hours, live via Zoom

  • Identifying effective solutions that address root causes, not symptoms
  • Evaluating solutions against feasibility and effectiveness criteria
  • Corrective action planning and stakeholder reporting in RC Pro
  • Mock facilitation: participants lead a structured investigation
  • Certification assessment and next steps
If you are looking to develop expertise in root cause analysis, I highly recommend taking a training course in the Apollo method. Apollo is oriented toward understanding all the causes surrounding an issue and will lead you to understand that most problems have many causes, and one that is the most effective to fix.

Who Online Training Suits

Online delivery works for teams that cannot commit to two consecutive days away from operations, or where travel is impractical.

Remote and Regional Teams

FIFO workers, engineers on mine sites, and staff at geographically isolated facilities can participate without travel.

Teams with Limited Availability

The 3 x 4-hour format means participants are away from the floor for half a day rather than two full days.

Distributed Organisations

Train people across multiple sites simultaneously, building a consistent RCA capability across the business.

Interstate and International

We deliver to any timezone. If your team spans multiple states or countries, online training removes the logistics barrier entirely.

Included with Every Training Package

Every participant receives the same accredited certification as in-person attendees. No distinction between online and on-site.

  • Accredited Apollo RCA Facilitator certification issued by HolisticAM, an accredited Apollonian Publications provider
  • 12-month RC Pro software licence for investigation management, RealityChart construction, and corrective action tracking
  • Apollo RCA facilitator manual covering methodology, facilitation techniques, and reference material
  • Post-course support from your instructor for questions that arise when you facilitate your first investigation

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the online certification the same as in-person?
Yes. The certification is identical. Online and on-site participants receive the same accredited Apollo RCA Facilitator certification from HolisticAM. There is no difference in qualification or recognition.
What technology do I need?
A computer with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and Zoom. RC Pro runs on Windows. Mac users can run it via a virtual machine or Boot Camp. Your instructor provides setup guidance before the first session.
Can we schedule sessions on non-consecutive days?
Yes. Many teams spread sessions across a week or fortnight. This gives participants time to review material and start applying concepts between sessions. Your instructor will work with you on scheduling.
How many people can participate?
Private courses accommodate teams of any practical size, though groups of 6 to 15 work best for interactive exercises. Public courses have fixed capacity and are booked first-come.
Do participants need prior RCA experience?
No. The course starts from first principles. It is designed for reliability engineers, maintenance managers, HSE professionals, operations leaders, and asset managers at any experience level.
