Chartered Quality Professional
‘Quality is everyone’s business. But it can’t be left to just anyone.’
We agree wholeheartedly. But more than that, we believe that business and industry can only achieve a sustainable approach to quality if competent people are employed to deliver it.
Chartered Quality Professionals are characterised by their ability to apply the quality management approach and the associated tools and techniques.
They ensure that their organisation continually improves its performance, identifies and manages risks and consistently satisfies its customers and stakeholders.
Chartered Quality Professionals have the competence and skills to develop appropriate solutions to quality and business improvement issues, using innovative approaches, and are variously engaged in technical and commercial leadership.
The CQI’s Chartered Quality Professional (CQP) provides quality specialists with the same status as other chartered professionals, giving recognition to their unique skill set and establishing their value within industry. Ensuring that your professional competence is formally recognised by the CQI the foundation to your success.
