The importance of professional training in my journey: from employee to founder of DB Assist’

I stand by it: to train is to perform.

In the industrial sector, professional training is not a mere formality — it is an essential condition for maintaining quality, competence, and long-term performance.

Amid supplier audits, the evolution of ISO standards, customer requirements, and international communication, skills development has become a true strategic lever.

Learning to grow: my years as an employee in the industry

From my very first steps in the automotive and manufacturing industries, I understood that solid experience alone wasn’t enough — it had to be supported by an up-to-date technical and methodological foundation.

I completed numerous certified quality trainings, including:

· IATF 16949, ISO/TS 16949, and VDA 6.3, to master the specific requirements of the automotive sector

· Internal audits, Core Tools, FMEA, and problem-solving, to strengthen process reliability

· Language courses and TOEIC / WIDAF certifications, to ensure precise and fluent communication in French, English, and German

These learnings enabled me to become a true quality and export interface, capable of understanding technical expectations while facilitating communication between customers, suppliers, and subcontractors.

Each training session reinforced my quality culture and my ability to prevent nonconformities before they turned into disputes.

Keep learning: training as the driving force behind DB Assist’

When I founded DB Assist’, continuous training took on a new dimension: it became a tool for knowledge sharing and professional development.

I expanded my background with courses in business creation and management, and later obtained the Corporate Trainer certification.

This recognition now allows me to design and deliver tailor-made training modules for industrial companies, directly aligned with their quality and export needs.

I also updated my BRIGHT language tests in English and German to maintain a high level of precision in my trilingual assignments. These new skills fuel each of my missions:

· Support in quality compliance implementation,· Leading targeted training sessions (internal audits, nonconformity management, intercultural communication),· And strengthening teams in their continuous improvement processes.

Training — a quality operating mode

For me, professional training is not an optional extra — it’s an operating mode.It gave me credibility when I was an employee, and today it gives me the legitimacy and agility I need to lead DB Assist’.To keep learning is to refuse to assume you already know, and to choose instead to stay alert, curious, and demanding.

Training and quality share the same philosophy: continuous improvement.Learning means ensuring the reliability of processes, customer satisfaction, and the sustainability of performance.

Professional training is not a pause in one’s career — it is the common thread of industrial excellence.

I am Delphine Baum, founder of DB Assist’.I support business leaders in their administrative, commercial, and quality management processes, both in France and internationally.
