Preparation for ASQ Certified Manager of Quality/Organizational Excellence

Become the quality expert for your organization. The Certified Manager of Quality/Organizational Excellence (CMQ/OE) professional is ready to make the right quality-related decisions at any level of the organization. This is a certification exam preparation or refresher course and is presented in a way that reinforces current knowledge, re-introduces applications that may not be used every day, explains the rationale for use, and highlights both multiple choice and constructed response sample questions.  

This course targets those planning to sit for the Certified Quality Manager exam. However, the topics are covered sufficiently so that people with little advanced knowledge of the concepts can master them with practice.

Each topic is presented in a practical, easy-to-follow manner that emphasizes the practical application of the tools covered. Participants will be given the opportunity to practice tools during the course and with optional homework exercises. A comprehensive manual, designed as an exam reference book, is provided to each attendee, reviewing exam topics and several sample exams.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Review the body of knowledge in preparation for the ASQ CMQ/OE examination
• Apply the components of the Body of Knowledge (BOK) to further focus their preparation efforts
• Explain, through discussions, the main concepts in each of the BOK elements
• Refine their thinking approach in preparation for the ‘constructed response’ section of the examination
• Practice sample tests

Individuals who desire to reinforce their skills, knowledge, and capacity to understand the CMQ/OE body of knowledge in preparation for taking the ASQ Certified Manager of Quality/Organizational Excellence examination.

Pre-course assignments are an essential part of this course, and attendees are expected to complete the assignments before the start of the class. This course is a refresher, and due to time limitations, it is not intended to cover all the components of the Body of Knowledge (BOK) in great depth. The 'Certified Manager of Quality/Organizational Excellence' book will be used as the reference handbook for training and will be provided to participants on the first day.

 There is NO exam at the end of the course. The actual ASQ exam will be arranged directly by the participant with ASQ, who will advise them of dates and locations. For more information, please visit:
