Software Quality Body of Knowledge Introduction and ASQ CSQE exam preparation process.

Course Description

The purpose of this course is to introduce the student to the preparation procedure required for the ASQ CSQE exam.  The student will be acquainted with the self-study materials that will enable the student to best prepare for the CSQE exam administered by the ASQ.  These self-study materials will be provided to each student who takes the course.  The course will review the Body of Knowledge (at a 3 day introductory level). Sample tests will also be given to allow the student to measure the amount of study and preparation required in their own case to adequately finish their preparation prior to the exam.  The results of the sample tests will be discussed.  The student will be provided with the tools for this preparation to take with them after the course.
