DESIGNED TO PREPARE CANDIDATES FOR THE CQM-C CERTIFICATION (CONSTRUCTION
QUALITY MANAGEMENT FOR CONTRACTORS) ADMINISTERED UNDER THE STANDARDS OF
THE U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS AND NAVAL FACILITIES ENGINEERING SYSTEMS

PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF QUALITY MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES IN FEDERAL CONSTRUCTION
PROJECTS.
THE ASSESSMENT EMPHASIZES CRITICAL TOPICS ALIGNED WITH THE OFFICIAL CQM
CURRICULUM, INCLUDING CONTRACTOR QUALITY CONTROL (CQC) SYSTEMS, THREE-PHASE
CONTROL PROCESSES, SUBMITTAL MANAGEMENT, DOCUMENTATION AND REPORTING,
SAFETY COORDINATION, INSPECTION PROCEDURES, TESTING PROTOCOLS, CONTRACT
COMPLIANCE, AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS SUCH AS EM 385-1-1 SAFETY STANDARDS.
DESIGNED FOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGERS, PROJECT ENGINEERS, QUALITY CONTROL
MANAGERS, SITE SUPERVISORS, GOVERNMENT INSPECTORS, AND CONTRACTORS WORKING
ON FEDERAL PROJECTS, THIS PRACTICE EXAM CONTAINS 150 SCENARIO-BASED AND THEORY-
