The CRE Recommended References Survey
The 2020 CRE Recommended References Survey
Welcome to the 2020 CRE Preparation Recommended References survey.
The idea is to refresh the list of the most useful references for those preparing and taking the ASQ CRE exam.
The recommendations may also make great desktop references for your daily use.
Please, take just a couple of minutes to complete this survey with your recommendations.
