This Certified Supplier Quality Professional (CSQP) course is designed as a review for individuals who meet the prerequisites and are preparing for the ASQ CSQP certification examination.
Students are responsible for obtaining their own study materials prior to the start of the course. We recommend that participants use current ASQ reference materials and other ASQ-recommended resources when preparing for the examination.
Students who already own legacy Quality Council of Indiana (QCI) materials, such as the CSQP Primer, Solutions Text, or practice exams, may continue to find those resources valuable as supplemental study aids. However, because the ASQ Body of Knowledge and examination content may change over time, students should ensure they are familiar with the current ASQ requirements and references.
To maximize the effectiveness of the review sessions and improve exam readiness, students are encouraged to begin studying their selected reference materials prior to the start of the course.
Training Time: 24 hours
