Certification Development Process

All certification programs follow ASQE’s ISO 17024 accredited exam development process to ensure the validity and reliability of ASQE examinations. Over the course of one year (minimum), ASQE works with subject matter experts (SMEs) to design, develop, and solidify a comprehensive body of knowledge and examination. A brief overview of ASQE’s exam development process and minimum requirements for a custom certification are below.

Content Analysis/Test Spec.

Content Analysis & Test Specifications Workshop

Subject matter experts identify knowledge and tasks required to successfully perform the role and translate that information into a Body of Knowledge (BoK).

Workshop Duration: 1.5 months
Subject Matter Experts Required: 15

Item Writing

After extensive training on how to compose test questions, SMEs write and review questions aligned with the new BoK.

Workshop Duration: 2 months
Subject Matter Experts Required: 20

Item Review

Test questions are reviewed and revised by another group of SMEs who check the quality of the questions and response options, confirm that each question has only one correct answer, and verify the references and BoK classifications for each question.

Workshop Duration: 2 months
Subject Matter Experts Required: 15

Exam Review

Once the items are revised, a pilot form is created and reviewed by another group of SMEs who determine if there is any overlap in content or if there are any necessary revisions.

Workshop Duration: 1.5 months
Subject Matter Experts Required: 15

Cut Score

Once the pilot form is established, SMEs set the performance standards of the exam known as the "minimum qualifications". The minimum qualifications are used as a guide to determine the passing score for the pilot exam.

Workshop Duration: 1 month
Subject Matter Experts Required: 17

QDM, which draws from the best of Six Sigma, Lean Six, and other continuous improvement methodologies, creates a customer-focused approach tailored to a service-based industry like FedEx. Over 2,600 experts have been certified in the company's unique methodology.

"Through QDM, thousands of team members have helped FedEx generate significant cost savings, boost revenue and continuously improve processes," says Rebecca Yeung, vice president, Advanced Technology & Innovation.
