ASQ Certification Information
The cover story for the August issue of Quality Progress is: Certification at Work.
The ASQ website has information on getting and maintaining your certifications (http://www.asq.org/certification/index.html).
There is information deeper on the ASQ website that you may find useful, whether you have a certification or are simply thinking about getting one. Here are a number of ASQ resources that you can use for getting background on certification.
Value of an ASQ Certification
- Certification Handbook (pdf)
Certification Tracks
- Certification track (pdf from the ASQ Baltimore website; cleaner, matrix format)
Other certification material
- Certification at Work (Quality Progress)
- Certification justification (Quality Progress)
- Value of Certification (Quality Progress)
- ASQ Certification Board Puts Quality Tools to Work (Quality Progress – article that provides background to the Certification test process)
Forums
ASQ forums/communities are a great place to get information and ask questions of other ASQ members about the certification process and how to study for the exams (benefit of membership).
- ASQ Forums: Career (old, no longer active, but the archive is still up)
- ASQ Certification Discussion forum (new ASQ community – lots of good tips/advice from fellow members). The main forums are located here at the ASQ Community forums.
- Elsmar Forums (this forum topic, or search on certification or ASQ certification throughout the forum). Note, this is not an ASQ resource, and you will receive a variety of opinions on the subject of certification, but Elsmar is a good resource for quality/regulatory personnel to be monitoring.

FAQ page for Certification available
FAQs for Certification (http://asqbaltimore.org/faq/faq-certification/) have been posted by the Chief Proctor, providing us our first FAQ for the website.
Frequently Asked Questions pages are a great way for the Section to provide answers to our members for questions we routinely get, in a way that allows our members / customers to get the answers at their convenience. You will still be able to email us with your questions, but we hope that these FAQ pages that are upcoming will provide quick answers for you, without waiting for an email response.
