Course Description: Advance your career and attain the credential of ASQ Certified Quality Inspector. This 24-hour course includes classroom instruction, group discussion, and computer based training materials to prepare you for the national test.

Why Become Certified? (excerpt from ASQ website)
"In today's world, where quality competition is a fact of life and the need for a work force proficient in the principles and practices of quality control is a central concern of many companies, certification is a mark of excellence. It demonstrates that the certified individual has the knowledge to assure quality of products and services. Certification is an investment in your career and in the future of your employer."

Materials: Since this is a review course, students are expected to obtain their own materials and study as much as possible prior to the course date. We will be using the Quality Council of Indiana Primer Instructor's PDF as we teach this review course. If you would like to purchase materials consistent with the material being presented in the review course, they are available through Quality Council of Indiana’s web site at www.qualitycouncil.com or through QCIS. The cost for the Primer is $65 plus $10 S&H. Again, in order to have the highest likelihood of success on your exam, we encourage the students to obtain their study materials as soon as possible in order to have plenty of time to study prior to the class date.
