What courses does ASQ offer?

ASQ prides itself in offering a vast catalog of live learning (virtual or face-to-face) and e-learning courses for individual customers, corporations, and certification exam takers. You can search our catalog by keyword, and/or filter courses by key topic or by learning format. Whether you are looking to prepare for a much-needed certification, or aiming for a career boost in your specific field, ASQ has the solution for you.

Do ASQ members get a discount on courses?

Absolutely! We are a nonprofit Society and serve to grow our community of ASQ learners. One of the many key advantages of becoming an ASQ member is that you will receive a significant discount on all ASQ learning courses. Discounts vary based on the type and price of course, so please make sure to check your ASQ learning catalog: it lists member prices alongside regular prices for every product. This discount applies to individual members and ASQE organizational members.

What can I use to pay for my course?

ASQ accepts Visa, Mastercard and American Express for online payments. Check and wire/ACH payments may be made through ASQ Customer Care.

How many students are there in a live (virtual or face-to-face) session?

Course capacity varies by course and is set to allow the most optimal learning experience for the participant. You may be unable to enroll in a course because it has reached maximum capacity. A waitlist option is not offered. In this case, please check back periodically as future sessions are added on a regular basis or should a space become available.

How can I track my order status?

How do I log in to my virtual learning session?

Please follow the steps below to log in to your virtual learning session. If you are facing issues and your session is imminent, please email us right away at [email protected] with as much information as possible, including screenshots, browser name(s), and solutions already tried.

15 minutes before your session is scheduled to start, please log in on ASQ.org using your ASQ username and password. Forgot password?
Click the “Access My Learning” button in the upper right to open the ASQ Learning platform.
Click on the title of your virtual course session icon under “My Enrolled Courses.”
Click on the dropdown arrow located to the right of the session title, then simply click “Join the Webinar”, and wait for Cisco WebEx to launch your session. Note: This may take several seconds/minutes to load based on your internet connection. Do not close your web browser, or else it will cancel the loading of the software for your session.

Technical notes:

If the session has not launched after five minutes, check for notification boxes that may have opened under other windows on your screen. If none are found, check your browser settings to make sure pop-up blockers are disabled, and turn off any company firewall or spam security settings.
When WebEx loads the first pop-up window “Audio Conference” appears, you have two options to connect your audio to the session: calling in separately by phone, or (recommended) simply using your device audio. (Note: If you do not see the pop-up window go to the WebEx toolbar at the top of your browser window, select “Audio”; then choose “Audio Conference.”)
- If you choose to call in separately by phone:
  - Select “I will call in” from the options.
  - Dial the WebEx audio number shown, and enter both the 9-digit access code and your attendee ID displayed on your screen, followed by the # sign.
  - A successful log-on will show a phone/headset icon next to your name in the participant list. If you do not see either icon next to your name, hang up and repeat this process, making sure all the codes and numbers are entered correctly.
- If you are simply using your device’s audio (recommended):
  - Select “Call in using computer” from the dropdown menu instead, and follow the same directions identified above to join the audio for the session.
  - Make sure that your headphones (or computer speakers) are plugged in, volume is turned on, and that your microphone is unmuted.
