☁️ ASQ Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE) - Exam-Prep

For engineers and quality professionals preparing for the ASQ CRE exam: master the full Body of Knowledge to predict, design, test, and manage product reliability across the life cycle. The course is organized into 14 modules, ending with a final exam (pass mark 70%). It is independent, free exam-preparation training — not an official or accredited review course.

What you'll learn

• Reliability Management: Strategy, Program Governance & Ethics
• Product Life Cycle Engineering & Life-Cycle Costing
• Probability and Statistics for Reliability: Basic Concepts and Probability Distributions
• Statistical Inference for Reliability: Estimation & Hypothesis Testing
• Reliability Design Techniques: Derating, Redundancy, and Robust Design
• Reliability in Design & Development: Parts/Systems Management and Human Factors
• Reliability Modeling: FMEA / FMECA and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)
• Reliability Modeling: Reliability Block Diagrams & System Modeling
• Reliability Predictions: Prediction, Estimation & Apportionment Methods
• Reliability Testing: Planning, Test Types & Test Strategies
• Reliability Testing: Accelerated Life Testing & Reliability Growth (Duane, Crow-AMSAA)
• Maintainability & Availability: Management Strategies and Maintainability Analysis
• Maintainability and Availability: Availability Modeling & Maintenance Optimization
• Data Collection and Use: FRACAS, Failure Analysis & Field/Warranty Data Analysis

Learning objectives

• Build and lead a reliability program covering strategy, life-cycle costing, and engineering ethics across the product life cycle.
• Apply probability distributions, statistical inference, and reliability functions to model and estimate component and system reliability.
• Use design tools such as FMEA/FMECA, derating, redundancy, FTA, and reliability allocation to design reliability into products.
• Construct reliability block diagrams and apply prediction, estimation, and apportionment methods to series, parallel, and complex systems.
• Plan and analyze reliability tests including accelerated life testing, reliability growth (Duane/Crow-AMSAA), and demonstration/qualification testing.
• Quantify maintainability and availability and apply preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance strategies.
• Design and operate reliability data collection systems (FRACAS) and analyze field and warranty data for continuous improvement.
• Solve exam-style problems under timed conditions and map each Body of Knowledge domain to its cognitive level and weighting.
