Certified Quality Engineer (Voucher Included)

In this course, you will learn the standard fundamentals and competencies of quality engineering, including development and operation of quality control systems, applications of testing and inspection procedures, and administering management information systems. Additionally, this course will cover human factors and motivation, quality cost concepts, metrology, and statistical methods of diagnosis and correction. It will also prepare for the Certified Quality Engineer (CQE) certification. This course also includes a voucher which covers the fee of the exam.

The course reviews all the topics in the CQE Body of Knowledge (BoK) so that you can reinforce your current knowledge, review concepts and applications that may not be used in everyday work, and enhance your exam preparation process. It begins with a pretest that you can use to identify areas of study to focus on. The content is arranged in the order of the BoK and built to prepare you at the appropriate Bloom's, or cognitive, level. The content includes illustrations where applicable, examples, and progress check questions. A post-test is also included—compare your pretest and post-test results to verify improvement in your scores after you've completed the course materials. Note that the questions in this product are not actual ASQ exam questions. Your performance on the exam simulation is for study purposes only, and may or may not reflect performance on an actual certification exam.

Whether you are new to the field or you are a quality engineer looking to prepare for the ASQ certification exam, the ASQ-Certified Quality Engineer course is an excellent choice for growing your career.
