CHARTERED QUALITY INSTITUTE

The Chartered Quality Institute is the chartered body for quality management professionals. Established in 1919 and formerly the Institute of Quality Assurance, they gained a Royal Charter in 2006 and became the CQI shortly afterwards in January 2007.  

Incorporated by Royal Charter and a registered charity (no. 259678) the CQI exists to benefit the public by advancing education in, knowledge of and the practice of quality in industry, commerce, the public sector and the voluntary sectors.

In short, the CQI exists to help make organisations better.
