Worried about Recertification?

ASQ requires recertification every three years for the following certifications:

  • Biomedical Auditor (CBA)
  • HACCP Auditor (CHA)
  • Pharmaceutical GMP Professional (CPGP)
  • Quality Auditor (CQA)
  • Quality Engineer (CQE)
  • Reliability Engineer (CRE)
  • Software Quality Engineer (CSQE)
  • Manager of Quality/Organizational Excellence (CQM/OE)
  • Calibration Technician (CCT)
  • Six Sigma Black Belt (CSSBB)
  • ASQ/DON Lean Six Sigma Black Belt (ASQ/DON CLSSBB)

Quality Inspector (CQI), Quality Improvement Associate (CQIA), Quality Process Analyst (CQPA), Quality Technician (CQT), and Six Sigma Green Belt (CSSGB) are lifetime certifications. 
They have no recertification requirements.  Recertification can be achieved by submitting a recertification journal or by exam.   All recertification information and documentation can be found on the ASQ website.

Recertification by Journal

To recertify by recertification journal, you must obtain a minimum of 18 recertification units (RUs) over a three-year period starting with your certification date.  RU credits can be earned in ten categories as defined in the Recertification Journal.  Please note the maximum RUs defined for each category cannot be exceeded.  

Recertification journals can be submitted up to six months before and/or after your expiration date (see Recertify Date on your certificate).  If you submit your journal before the six months it will be returned.  If you submit your journal after the six months, you will be instructed on how to recertify by exam.  

Please fill out the appropriate sections in the Recertification Journal and return with payment and all supporting documentation to the Recertification Chair at the following address for review:

Jane Corby
461 Lexington Avenue
Neptune , NJ 07753

If paying by credit card, you may alternately email scanned copies of your journal to the Recertification Chair at jane.corby@asqprinceton.org. 
Be sure to include a photocopy of the certificate(s) that is expiring.  Journals will be reviewed within two weeks of receipt and you will be notified of the status.

Recertification by Exam
To recertify by exam, please fill out the Recertification by Exam Request Form located in the Recertification Journal and return with payment to ASQ by FAX or at the following address for review and processing:

ASQ
Attn:  Recertification Coordinator
P.O. Box 3005
Milwaukee , WI   53210-3005
FAX:  414-298-3005

You may recertify by exam up to one year past your certification expiration date. 

Certification Synchronization

You may synchronize two or more of your certifications so that they all expire on the same date.  To synchronize, all you need to do is include documentation and the 18 RUs required to recertify the certification that is currently due.  On the ASQ Recertification Journal Application form in the Recertification Journal just indicate what other ASQ certifications you wish to have synchronized with the certification that is currently due.  You are not required to provide evidence for any of the other certifications you are trying to synchronize.  As long as the one certification that is currently due is approved then all other certifications, as indicated on the application form, will be pulled back to expire the same as the certification which is most currently due.  Then for future recertifications you will only need to provide a total of 18 RU credits for all synchronized certifications on one application form along with one set of documentation. 

Certification Retirement
To retire your certification, please fill out the Retired Certification Status Form located in the Recertification Journal and return with payment to ASQ at the following address for review and processing:

ASQ
Attn:  Recertification Coordinator
P.O. Box 3005
Milwaukee , WI   53210-3005

Recertification Fees and Payment

Recertification and certification retirement fees can be found on the ASQ website. 
Fees can be paid by credit card or check.  Checks must be made out to ASQ.
