CQE Examination Preparation Webinar

 


Certification Exam Preparation is different than Certification Development.   Certification Exam Preparation is a short-term session just prior to taking a certification exam to prepare the applicant for that examination.  Typically, certification prep classes use materials that are directly related to the Body of Knowledge for the upcoming examination and review questions that are usually covered on the test. 

Certification Exam Preparation is meant to finely hone a person's knowledge and skills for taking the exam.  Certification Exam Preparation takes place after a long-term development of knowledge and skills pertaining to a given certification type and BoK.

Training Partner Wanted: CQE Prep
ASQ Section 1118 is wanting to establish a partnership with a qualified individual to conduct a webinar-based CQE Examination Preparation (CQE Prep) for this fall in readiness for the 5 Dec 09 examination.  The Sectional Board has approved an RFP as the initial step to develop this partnership.  If you are interested in helping our members become certified as quality engineers, click here for a copy of the RFP and respond accordingly.
