Education Courses

General Information

Classroom-Based, Instructor-Led Training Courses

Every year, the section offers certification preparation/refresher courses to help prepare you for the exams. The section also offers introductory level courses for anyone beginning a career in the quality profession, advanced level courses for applying quality tools in their workplace, and courses that are required for continued compliance with various ISO certifications.

New courses both during the day and in the evening are always being added to the schedule.

All courses are delivered by qualified instructors from the Philadelphia metropolitan area, some of whom are section members.

Most courses can be customized and are available on site for a considerable savings (up to 30%) over the per person classroom cost. A further deduction of $25 is granted for every ASQ member. There must be at least 6 students to hold most courses and a higher number for ISO affiliated courses.

Membership in ASQ is not required to attend any course but the advantages to ASQ membership include savings on tuition costs for the certification preparation courses, and the purchase of additional books and reference materials from the ASQ Store.

Register as early  to ensure your seat in the class. See registration details for more information. For all courses, the course textbook and supplies are included in the course fee and daytime refreshments and lunch are provided.

For questions or comments contact Bob Wittendorf.
