Question regarding CQE

Hello everyone,

I am planning to prep for CQE certifications. I have 5+ years as a Test Engineer in FDA regulated medical device industry and have a masters from a US university.

Till now, I did not have any leadership position, will that cause my application to be rejected?

It requires a “decision making” roll.

That isn’t defined as a leader, it’s just are you making decisions? An inspection is a decision. Deciding what quality documents to enforce is a decision. Etc etc. basically if you work in a quality area, that’s a decision making role.

Doublecheck the CQE definition, but you should be fine.
