Every year, manufacturing and service organisations lose significant revenue to preventable quality failures — misaligned processes, unchecked variation, and weak supplier oversight. Closing that gap starts with engineers who can measure, diagnose, and fix quality problems systematically, and that is exactly the standard the Certified Quality Engineer (CQE) exam tests. Arab British Fellowship Training Academy built this programme to get candidates exam-ready while giving them tools they will use on the job from day one.

Developed and reviewed by ASQ-certified specialists, the course mirrors the structure and rigour of the actual exam. Participants work through problem-solving methodologies such as root cause analysis and corrective action, reliability engineering that safeguards product durability and performance, and supplier quality management aligned with production standards and regulatory compliance. Every topic in the CQE Body of Knowledge (BoK) is reviewed so candidates walk into the exam room prepared.

Who Should Attend?

• Professionals aiming to become certified quality engineering specialists.
• Quality engineers and managers pursuing advanced qualifications.
• Practitioners responsible for process control, risk management, and supplier quality in manufacturing or service industries.
• Anyone seeking structured, exam-focused knowledge of statistical analysis, quality systems, and reliability engineering.

Knowledge and Benefits

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Apply quality management principles and statistical tools — data analysis, probability, sampling, and design of experiments — to real process problems.
• Build and read control charts to monitor processes and catch deviations early.
• Assess and manage quality-related risks, then plan and execute internal and external audits.
• Use root cause analysis and corrective/preventive action to resolve recurring quality issues.
• Evaluate supplier performance against production standards and regulatory requirements.
• Apply reliability engineering concepts to safeguard product durability and performance.
• Walk into the CQE exam having reviewed every topic in the official Body of Knowledge.
