Recertification

Two Ways to Recertify

Recertification Journal: Obtain a minimum of 18 recertification units during your three-year certification period. Document them in your recertification journal.

Examination: Sit for the exam. (Required if your certification expired and is past the six-month grace period.)

Do I Need to Recertify?

ASQ requires that you recertify the following certifications every three years to ensure that you maintain the same level of knowledge demonstrated in your first exam.

If you retired from full-time employment, you may wish to also retire your ASQ certification.
