Mission
Provide educational opportunities in the Quality field for all ASQ Members and the Akron-Canton community, to aid in the attainment of an individual's professional or personal objectives. |
| Education Committee
The Education Program is maintained by a committee of Section Member volunteers and is presided by an Education Committee Chair who represents the Program at the Section Leadership Committee meetings. The Education Committee is responsible for long- and short-term planning and for maintaining a curriculum of courses that is reviewed periodically for completeness and relevancy.
Education Sessions
Up to three sessions of classes are offered by the Education Committee each Program Year. A Fall Session is targeted to begin in late August/early September; a Winter Session may begin in early January; and a Spring Session is planned to begin in mid-March. Courses, typically, are either 10 hours or 20 hours in length, and run over a 5 week to 10 week period, respectively.
Certification Program
In conjunction with National's offering of certification recognition in at least eight unique "bodies of knowledge", the Education Committee endeavors to provide its Members with appropriate courses that help to obtain certification. In addition to general quality-related courses, Committee offers"refresher" classes geared toward a specific certification "body of knowledge". See the education program curriculum, found in the yearly Program Calendar, for more specifics. |
