Fall Refresher Classes
ASQ Certification is formal recognition by ASQ that an individual has demonstrated proficiency within and a comprehension of a specified body of knowledge at a point in time. It is peer recognition and not registration or licensure. Since 1968, when the first ASQ certification exam was given, more than 85,000 individuals have become certified through ASQ, including many who have attained more than one designation. Although ASQ membership is not a prerequisite for certification, most of the people who hold one of these designations do belong to the Society. Prerequisites Contact the ASQ Austin Certification Chair, Norma Antunano, at for questions about the program. See the ASQ Web Site, for information about prerequisites to apply for the examination and details about the examination, the bodies of knowledge, and other aspects of these certifications. The cost for each certification exam is listed at ASQ Exam Fees.

In order to maintain consistency within the section we will continue doing the following:
