ASQ Examination Review Courses

For over 25 years, the American Society for Quality (ASQ) has certified quality professionals, ASQ-Knoxville and Pellissippi State offer courses that prepare participants to sit for the certification exams. Exams are held regularly on our campus. The ASQ-sponsored review courses are intended for individuals with previous training, education, and experience in those fields. The purpose of these courses is to refresh one's knowledge and to review information already known, not to teach new concepts.
