A Certified Quality Engineer (CQE) is a professional who understands the
principles of product and service quality, evaluation, and control. In
order to sit for the CQE examination, a candidate must have at least eight
years of training and on-the-job experience in one or more areas of
quality, with a minimum of three years in a decision-making position. CQEs
develop and implement quality systems, plan, control and monitor product
and process quality, use reliability and risk management tools, and apply a
wide spectrum of quantitative analyses to resolve quality issues. To learn

accomplishment and, although not a formal registration or licensure, it
