Good question - Now, 2 years or so later, anyone have any experience with the ASQ's e-Learning center?

I expect to in the next two months. My direct reports find it difficult if not impossible to travel (children etc.) as a result I've enrolled them in several of the ASQ's e-learning courses, they should be starting them in the next week or two. Hopefully in the next 90 days or so I'll be able to give some feedback on the courses.

I am currently taking my second course with on Caliso9000.com. Very good courses. The first I took was a 10 hr. intro to TS 16949. They went through each requirement and explained it and throughout gave quizzes to ensure you understood. You were asked a total of 170 questions. I am now in the TS 16949
16 hr Auditor course. We reviewed ISO 19011 and now are going through the TS standard and doing quizzes on case studies. Looking like 170 questions asked as well. The prices are very reasonable. :agree1:

I participated in an evaluation of ISO/IEC 17025 course modules from a provider of on-line training, and am currently enrolled in a PhD program that is all on-line.

It has the advantage that one can be a bit more flexible in time management. The biggest disadvantage is the lack of personal interaction......on-line interaction is good, but not quite the same as being there.

The other - and main - consideration is how well the e-training is put together, monitored, and revised to change to meet needs.

Here is the combined feedback from two of my direct reports that have completed the ASQ e-learning training:


All e-learning courses excelled in graphic presentation, attention to detail, and suggested references for further reading. The graphic presentation helps with reading through the material. Some courses have more challenging test material, but most tests are boring. Overall the e learning helped in understanding general concepts of Quality, Calibration and Auditing. A hard copy of all the material to use as a reference at a later time would be nice. They could have copied each page, but that was a pain.

Intro to Measurement and Calibration - Easy course, covers basics, good introductory course if unfamiliar with calibration processes and all the terms.

ISO A-Z - Overview of ISO Standard, very comprehensive in terms of material covered. Detailed interpretation of standard was helpful. Unit tests were boring and frustrating as many questions focused on word usage rather than understanding general concepts. The final test was the most interesting and challenging but is sent away for grading.

Auditing Fundamentals I
Auditing Fundamentals II
Process Auditing Techniques - These are easy courses with simple tests. Good overview of auditing but would have been more valuable if you have done a few audits before taking the training or can take the training concurrently. There is a vast gap between reading and doing.


I'll post an update when (if?) the others finish the training.

Can we ask where the PhD program is?

Thanks for that feedback, ISOPete & Bob. :thanx: It appears that you got value for your money. Was there any 'interaction' with any instructor? Was the training sponsored by your employer?

BTW, There are so many on-line courses, but I'm surprised that hardly anyone mentions the number of students enrolled.

There was no interaction with an instructor. We did have experienced Auditors help when needed. I'm not sure what you mean by "sponsored by your employer" My employer paid for all the training. As their manager I allow anyone taking classes directly related to work to study during working hours as long as all work related responsibilities/deadlines are met.
