About the CQE exam
The Certified Quality Engineer (CQE) credential is one of the most recognized certifications for quality professionals. The exam is intentionally broad and expects candidates to move between quality principles, practical judgment, statistical analysis, and calculations. Even experienced professionals can find it challenging because success requires not only knowing the material, but also recalling and applying it efficiently in ASQ’s multiple-choice format.
