"... agree it (CQA) was a very difficult test. Probably one of hardest I have ever taken. I did a lot of studying a few weeks before the test, and the Dick Kish CQA Preparation Class also helped. Thanks again."
John Krivoniak
"Being more of a traditional classroom student I found that the Certified Quality Auditor Webinar was an efficient and cost effective way for me to prepare for the CQA exam. Having been performing audits for quite some time, the course reinforced my existing auditing knowledge by refreshing my understanding and adding different perspectives. The practice exams were challenging but even more importantly they helped me tune my test taking skills. These factors made a difference in giving me the confidence to pass the CQA exam. I would recommend this course to an experienced auditor ready to pursue certification. Thanks, Dick for sharing your expertise with us.”
