ASQ Certified Quality Inspector (CQI) Body of Knowledge (BoK) and Certification Preparation
The Certified Quality Inspector (CQI) credential, offered by the American Society for Quality (ASQ), validates the expertise of inspectors who evaluate hardware documentation, perform laboratory procedures, inspect products, measure process performance, and prepare formal reports under professional direction . The exam is built around four core domains: Technical Mathematics, Metrology, Inspection and Test, and Quality Assurance and Improvement . The CQI exam is a one-part, 110-question multiple-choice exam (100 scored, 10 unscored) with a four-hour and eighteen-minute time limit, and it is an open-book exam . Candidates typically need two years of on-the-job experience in inspection or a related field, with education waivers available for technical school diplomas or college degrees . Official preparation resources include the CQI Handbook (companion guide that can be used during the exam), a Question Bank with three 100-question practice sets, and instructor-led certification preparation courses
