Quality Engineer: Education, training, information and schools in your region

The Quality Engineer certificate examination lasts two hours and is written. It tests in-depth knowledge in various areas of quality management. These include

• Design for Six Sigma
  Methods and tools for the systematic development of robust products and processes
• Product development process
  Processes from the idea to series production, including relevant quality assurance measures
• Technical risk analysis
  Identification and evaluation of potential sources of error, for example with FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis)
• Statistical design of experiments (DoE)
  Application of statistical methods for planning and evaluating experiments for process optimization

These topics of the Quality Engineer certificate examination cover key skills required for working as a quality engineer in an industrial environment. They provide practical knowledge for quality assurance along the entire product life cycle.

Please note: The exact content of the Quality Engineer certificate examination may vary slightly depending on the school. It is therefore advisable to obtain detailed information directly from the educational institution offering the course. Use our contact form to forward your question directly to the desired school.

The continuing education, further training to become a Quality Engineer is extremely comprehensive in terms of content and consists of a total of 13 modules, including the exam simulation. The following modules are also taught:

• Fundamentals of quality work
• Advance quality planning and inspection planning
• Test concepts and test methods
• Quality assurance with store floor management
• Measurement system analysis
• Design for Six Sigma
• Statistical process control
• Random sampling according to AQL
• Technical risk analysis
• Product development process requirements
• Statistical evaluation methods
• Statistical experimental design

Continuing education, further training as a quality engineer provides comprehensive knowledge of various quality methods along the entire product life cycle. The focus is on the basic statistical principles of quality assurance, which enable sound interpretation and control of measurement and CAQ systems. Participants acquire an in-depth understanding of quality requirements and learn how to effectively optimize testing processes.

Participants in the Quality Engineer course learn about the following topics, among others:

• Principles and methods of quality assurance
• Statistics and data analysis for quality processes
• Control and interpretation of CAQ systems (Computer-Aided Quality)
• Process optimization in quality management
• Recognition and implementation of relevant quality requirements

This knowledge enables them to plan, monitor and improve quality assurance processes in a targeted manner.

Please note: Each school determines the exact learning content of the Quality Engineer course individually. It is therefore advisable to check the content directly with the respective educational institution. A contact form is available for support, which forwards the request directly to the desired school.

The target group for continuing education, further training to become a quality engineer are designers, quality specialists, process planners and quality managers who want to take on demanding tasks in quality assurance, as well as for coaches for preventive methods for product development process quality assurance.

The target groups and admission requirements are determined independently by the schools. There may therefore be slight differences from school to school.
We therefore recommend contacting the school of your choice directly via our contact form or using the "Ask a question" button to get in touch with the right contact person - quickly, easily and without obligation.

After completing the Quality Engineer course, participants will be able to understand quality assurance in the context of the company and select and plan targeted quality assurance measures. They will be able to promote the quality culture through visualization and transparency, prepare and evaluate data graphically and computationally effectively and be familiar with statistical methods such as sampling and SPC.

The Quality Engineer course covers a period of around six months with a total of 23 attendance days.
