A Certified Quality Technician (CQT) plays a vital role in supporting quality assurance and control by conducting inspections, gathering measurement data, and analyzing results to ensure products meet defined standards. This ASQ certification validates your ability to apply foundational quality concepts, statistical techniques, calibration methods, inspection and testing procedures, audit practices, and risk-mitigation strategies in real-world settings.

Quality Concepts & Tools (19 Questions)
Quality Concepts: Understand customer/supplier needs, product/process quality principles, standards/specifications, and cost-of-quality categories (prevention, appraisal, internal/external failure).
Quality Tools: Select, build, and interpret the seven basic quality tools (cause-and-effect diagrams, flowcharts, check sheets, Pareto charts, scatter plots, control charts, histograms), plus problem-solving techniques (5 Whys, 8D), Lean basics (5S, value-stream mapping), and continuous-improvement methods (PDCA, DMAIC, brainstorming, benchmarking).
Ethics: Apply the ASQ Code of Ethics in professional conduct.
Statistical Techniques (17 Questions)
Concepts & Terminology: Population vs. sample, parameters vs. statistics, normal distribution, SPC basics.
Calculations: Compute and interpret mean/median/mode, range/variance/standard deviation, and confidence intervals.
Control Charts: Differentiate control vs. spec limits; construct/analyze X̅-R, I-MR, p/np/c/u charts; calculate process-capability indices (Cp, Cpk, Pp, Ppk); interpret common vs. special causes.
Metrology & Calibration (16 Questions)
Measurement Equipment: Identify types of gauges, hand tools, optical and electronic devices, CMMs, surface-plate methods, profilometers, force-measurement tools.
Control & Maintenance: Establish identification, control, maintenance, and traceability of M&TE; validate customer-supplied equipment.
Calibration: Set intervals based on risk/usage; interpret calibration results, errors, and hierarchy of standards (reference → primary → transfer).
Inspection & Test (21 Questions)
Drawings & GD&T: Read engineering drawings, apply ASME Y14.5 geometric tolerancing, classify defect severity.
Inspection Concepts: Choose measurement types/instruments; perform MSA (gauge R&R); apply rounding rules and unit conversions; determine inspection points; manage traceability, CoC/CoA.
Sampling: Understand sampling plans (AQL, single/double/skip-lot, AOQ); select sample size and accept/reject criteria.
Nonconforming Material: Identify, segregate, document, and disposition nonconforming items; understand MRB processes.
Quality Audits (13 Questions)
Audit Types & Terminology: Internal/external, system/product/process audits; first-, second-, third-party distinctions.
Audit Process: Plan and scope audits, prepare checklists, conduct opening/closing meetings, classify findings, report and verify corrective actions.
Audit Tools: Use working papers, evidence gathering, trace-forward/trace-back, and audit sampling techniques.
Risk Management (14 Questions)
Assessment & Mitigation: Apply FMEA (PFMEA/DFMEA), fault-tree analysis, SPC trend analysis, and control plans; leverage customer complaints and warranty data.
Corrective Action: Follow problem-containment, root-cause analysis, solution implementation, and effectiveness validation.
Preventive Action: Identify potential failures, develop mistake-proofing, revise procedures, and verify preventive measures.
