CQI Units
The Chartered Quality Institute (CQI) Certificates and Diploma in Quality Management comprise a number of Units which collectively cover the CQI Body of Quality Knowledge (BoQK). Most of these Units appear in more than one qualification therefore, as the student progresses, he or she may complete all of the Units contained in one or more certificates on the way to achieving the Diploma in Quality Management.
It is not necessary to qualify in any certificate more than once so the likelhood of duplicating the topics in the course in other qualifications is significantly reduced although for the sake of continuity and introduction to topics some minor replication might occur.
The Units and their relevant Certificates together with assessment method are as follows
Assessment method A = Assignment, E = Examination, P = Project
