Why Attend

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. Also, participants will receive course materials and a copy of the CMQ/OE handbook: fourth edition.

Course Methodology

This is not an introductory course but one that is intended for those planning to sit for the certified quality manager exam. However, the topics are covered in such sufficient detail so that people with little advanced knowledge of the concepts will be able to 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 as well as with optional homework exercises. A comprehensive manual, designed for use as an exam reference book, is provided to each attendee which provides a review of exam topics as well as several sample exams.

Course Objectives

Target Audience

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.

Target Competencies

Note

Pre-work assignments are an important part of this course and attendees are expected to complete the assignments prior to the start of the first 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. Taking this course does not constitute, nor imply, the successful passing of the ASQ Certified Manager of Quality/Organizational Excellence (CMQ/OE) examination. The 'Certified Manager of Quality/Organizational Excellence' book (by R. Westcott) will be used as the main handbook for training and will be provided to participants on the first day.
