Upcoming CMQ/OE - Certified Manager of Quality / Organizational Excellence Exam Classes
Classes for the March 3, 2012 CMQ/OE ASQ Certification Exam Preparation Training will be starting the second week of January 2012. Due to the compressed time schedule for the March 3, exam, we will be conducting two classes per week. The scheduling of the classes is based upon convenience for you. Contact us at info@innovations4quality.com or 888-920-6802 for more details.
The classes focus on the body of knowledge (BOK) for the CMQ/OE Exam along with the cognitive level associated with each element within the BOK. It is important to have a solid grasp of what material is important since the CMQ/OE Exam is very time restrictive. You only have 1.3 minutes per question, so you must move very quickly through the exam. We also spend a great deal of time working on strategies for approaching the constructed response portion of the exam. The CMQ/OE exam consists of one section that is constructed response and one that is multiple choice. The constructed response portion of the exam gives you three essay questions in which you must respond to two. You have 45 minutes to develop your response for the two questions you select. It is important during this portion of the exam to focus on the quality of your response and not quantity. The multiple choice portion of the exam consists of 150 questions and 3 hours and 15 minutes to complete.
Out classes offer a mixture of lecture, breakout sessions and quizzes. The training is conducted in an online classroom environment with a high level of interactivity between the student and instructor. You will have access to the instructor via email and phone to get your questions answered outside of normal class.

The focus of the ASQ Certification Certified Quality Manager Preparation Course:
-Our training centers around ASQ's Body of Knowledge for the Certified Quality Manager Exam. The Body of Knowledge is the roadmap to what is going to be covered on the exam.
-Focus on the cognitive level at which questions will be asked. Some of the material you only need to be
familiar with and some you will need to know very well. The cognitive level is defined by ASQ in the
Body of knowledge and is based on Bloom's Taxonomy. There are six cognitive levels. Here is an example
of the six levels and what type of questions are associated with each level. The levels are in
order from least complex to most complex. The following examples deal with the CMQ/OE Body of
Knowledge.
