ASQ Montreal Section – Education Program 2025

Dr David TozerBy Dr. David Tozer, Ph.D., ASQ CQE and SSBB, Education & Audit Chair.

ASQ Certification often leads to higher paying employment. The money invested in education and certification increases chances of finding employment quickly in the down sizing environment we live in.  People who take the section sponsored refresher courses, and spend at least twice as much time as spent in the classroom on self study, have an 80%, or better, chance of passing the examination on the first attempt.

Having ASQ certification gives you an edge in the market and can significantly increase your income.
Courses are now available online as well | Courses now available online

Although this picture is from last year’s Super Bowl, it lends itself better to the results of this year’s contest.

During the summer of 2024, a colleague of mine at work (Siemens Energy Canada) told me that they were organizing a workshop for the company’s Internal Quality group. Knowing that I am with the ASQ Montreal Section, they asked if it might be possible for someone within ASQ to come and give a Quality-related presentation during the workshop.

After a few discussions, both internally within our Section Leadership Team, as well as with the workshop organizers, our Section Education Chair Dr. David Tozer was present on-site on November 19, 2024 to help kick off the workshop.

As per David’s own words: “The presentation at Siemens Energy Canada, on 19 November, was a success.  The main focus of the presentation was the formation of a quality steering committee, and getting people to work on real issues affecting everyone.  The session was very interactive and some consensus was built on how to proceed.  The event I lead was followed up in the afternoon with more expansion of the way to go.

I was able to attend the session and some of the pictures I took are below.

In short, it felt good to help organize David’s visit and presentation, as well as see the ASQ Montreal Section contributing to the Quality profession “out in the field”.

As usual, November brings to an end our Section’s event activities, as well as Newsletter activities until January of the following year.

So I would like to take this opportunity, as I have in previous November issues of this Newsletter, to wish everyone a joyous holiday season. However you celebrate, I hope it is filled with peace and love.

See you in 2025.
