Recertification FAQs

HOW DO I KNOW IF MY EMPLOYMENT WILL QUALIFY FOR RECERTIFICATION UNITS?

To receive employment recertification units, at least one area of your job duties, responsibilities, or functions must fall in at least one area of the Body of Knowledge (BOK) for your certification(s).

I HAVE AUTHORED/CO-AUTHORED A BOOK. WHERE SHOULD I ENTER THIS ACTIVITY IN THE RECERTIFICATION JOURNAL?

Being an author or co-author of a published book should be recorded under the "Publishing" category, in the "Book" sub-category. The sole author of a book receives 4 recertification units per published book. A co-author receives 2 recertification units per published book. Include a copy of the book cover showing the title and author name(s), a copy of the copyright page showing date of publication, and a copy of the table of contents.

WHAT IS "SYNCHRONIZING MY CERTIFICATIONS" AND HOW DO I DO IT?

If you hold multiple ASQ certifications, you can "synchronize" them and renew them all at once by submitting a single recertification journal instead of separately renewing different certifications with different recertification dates.

To synchronize two or more certifications, all you need to include is documentation for the 18 RUs required to recertify the one certification that is currently due. You are not required to provide additional evidence for any of the other certifications you are trying to synchronize. If the certification that is currently due is approved, we will adjust all your other certifications to recertify at the same time as the certification currently due. For future recertification, you only need to provide a total of 18 RUs for all synchronized certifications.

For more information or to download the recertification journal, please visit the ASQ Recertification webpage.

The fees for recertifying two or more certifications are:

Fee: $130.00 each

ASQ Member Price: $110.00 total
