Purpose

The course is modeled after the ASQ (American Society for Quality) Certified Quality Technician Body of Knowledge, yet allows flexibility to include company specific applications. The course will be held on – site at the client’s facility. DQI will tailor materials to fit the needs of the client. A Pre-and Post test will be given as well as a Certificate of Completion for each successful participant.

Quality Technician Certification (CQT) Body of Knowledge
The topics in this Body of Knowledge include additional detail in the form of subtext explanations and the cognitive level at which the questions will be written. This information will provide useful guidance for both the Exam Development Committee and the candidate preparing to take the exam. The subtext is not intended to limit the subject matter or be all-inclusive of what might be covered in an exam. It is meant to clarify the type of content to be included in the exam. The descriptor in parentheses at the end of each entry refers to the maximum cognitive level at which the topic will be tested.
