Course Description
This comprehensive course prepares participants for ASQ’s Certified Quality Inspector (CQI) exam with industry-relevant content, pertinent examples, and exam-style practice questions. Training includes a review of all topics in the CQI Body of Knowledge (BoK) in order to reinforce current knowledge, refresh concepts and applications not used in everyday work, and strengthen the exam preparation process.
The course begins with a pretest to identify areas of study on which to focus. Content is then covered in the order of the BoK. A post-test is included so participants can compare pretest and post-test results to verify improvement after completing the course materials.
