Calculator Refresher for ASQ Certification Exams
| This one day course is designed to provide calculator training for technicians, inspectors, engineers, and managers who are preparing to take an ASQ certification exam. Exams have time restrictions that require good time management in completing the exam. The majority of the exams require math and statistical calculations. Knowing the calculator keystrokes will give you an edge with those calculations. All students will be provided a scientific calculator (TI36X or equivalent) for use in class. Specific keystrokes for a common model will be used in class. |
| TARGET AUDIENCE | COURSE LENGTH |
| Anyone preparing to take an ASQ certification exam that requires math and statistics calculations; especially CCT, CQT, CQI, CRE and CQE and other math related certifications or individuals who want to brush up on their calculator skills. |
Length: 1 day Time: 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. |
