Individuals who pass the CQE exam are also issued a certificate by ASQ that confirms their certification status. This certificate can be used as proof of certification when applying for jobs or pursuing other professional opportunities in the field of quality engineering. Also, individuals who hold the CQE certification must maintain their certification by meeting continuing education requirements established by ASQ (American Society for Quality).
To qualify for the CQE certification exam, candidates must have eight years of quality engineering work experience or a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution and four years of quality engineering work experience.
The time required to prepare for the CQE certification exam varies depending on the individual's level of experience and understanding of quality engineering concepts. Most people spend several months studying and preparing for the exam.
The criterion for passing the CQE certification exam is not a fixed number as it is based on a complex formula that takes into account the difficulty of the questions. However, it is generally accepted that a score of at least 70% is required to pass the exam.
