Abstract: How to Achieve ASQ Recertification and Review of Recent Changes in the 2024 Recertification Handbook
After initial certification, one must carry out specific professional development requirements to recertify every three years and provide documentation in support. All activities must relate or correspond to at least one area of the Body of Knowledge (BoK) for an individual’s certification(s).
Continuing Competency refers to the demonstration of specified levels of knowledge, skills, or abilities not only at the time of initial certification, but throughout an individual’s professional career. ASQ mandates maintenance of one’s credential through activities that reinforce continued competence. Maintaining one’s ASQ certification is crucial to professional growth, fluency, and status within the industry and is a mandatory requirement of certification. The recent changes for 2024 will be reviewed and this session will focus on a few examples of paths one may choose to achieve re-certification in the future.
o A quality professional with a full-time job
o A quality consultant only working part-time
o A retired quality professional
