ASQ Certified Quality Engineer Certification Preparation

Course Methodology

This course is designed to teach topics which are most commonly addressed on the CQE exam. Each topic is presented in a practical, easy to follow manner that emphasizes the practical application of the tools covered. A comprehensive manual, designed for use as an exam reference book, is provided to each attendee. This is not an introductory course and is intended for those planning to sit for the Certified Quality Engineer Exam. However, the topics are covered in such sufficient detail that people with little advance knowledge of the concepts will be able to master them with practice. Participants will be given the opportunity to practice most quantitative tools during class as well as with optional homework exercises.  It includes an appendix that includes all necessary statistical tables and a removable set of more than 500 sample exam questions (with an answer key) for exam study purposes. Group discussions and exercises will be used to
