Hi all,
I see there are one or two CQI bods hanging out here, perhaps you can help.
I am a british ex-pat who has been living and working in Germany for over 20 years and in Quality positions for something like 18. Im currently european quality manager for an automotive supplier.
For many years now I have been toying with joining the IQA, now CQI, but having just finished an MBA and had a baby, I really DONT want to do any more exams any time soon.
Has anyone here had experince of joining the CQI via the experiencial route? Any idea of how tough it is? Is it worth joining as an associate before going for full member?
Ive got the aplication forms and its obviously going to be a big job getting the evidence documents together, particularly for me as all my documentation is in German and I am unlikely to be able to easily find a solid and acceptable referee.
My motivation, like my MBA, (apart from just fancying being Chartered) is to get formal recognition of my experience and to solidify my position in an increasingly dodgy Job market, although I hope there will be networking benefits too.
Any tips?
Andrew
