Certified Supplier Quality Professional (CSQP)

The Certified Supplier Quality Professional (CSQP) works with an organization's supply chain and suppliers to continuously improve performance of key system components (increase lifecycle, reduce scrap, improve repair processes) by implementing process controls and developing quality assurance plans. The Certified Supplier Quality Professional tracks data, identifies improvement projects, and manages cross functional implementation to improve performance of key components and suppliers.  Each certification candidate is required to pass an ASQ written examination that consists of multiple-choice questions that measure comprehension of the CSQP Body of Knowledge.

The CSQP exam is a one-part, 165-question, four-hour exam delivered via computer-based testing by ASQ's testing partner, Pyrometric, during the January, March, May, July, September and November "testing windows".  150 questions are scored and 15 are unscored (used as possible future exam questions).

All examinations are open-book. Each participant must bring his or her own reference materials. Use of reference materials and calculators is explained in the seating letter provided to applicants.  All examinations are open-book. Each participant must bring his or her own reference materials.
