THE PROBLEM

Most students can't get quality science experience until they already have a job that requires it

• Your degree teaches the science, but rarely the quality systems companies actually run on

• Internships in pharma and med device are competitive and hard to land without prior exposure

• You don't know anyone inside these companies, so your resume looks like everyone else's

• Free resources online are scattered, and none of them come with mentorship or a hiring connection

WHAT QSE CHANGES

You graduate already speaking the language of quality

Instead of hoping you'll pick it up on the job, you walk in with the vocabulary, the frameworks, and the relationships companies are actively recruiting for.

• Real curriculum built by industry professionals

• A mentor who works in pharma or med device

• Direct access to the Quality Champions Hiring Platform - recruiters search for you!

THE HONEST PART

This is a real course. We want you to know that going in.

Each course carries the workload of a 3-credit-hour university course, with graded homework, exams and a live cohort. That's 9 credit hours of real academic work across the program. It's built to be completed, not just started.

• 3 to 5 hours a week of class time and assignments

• Weekly live sessions with your professor

• A short mentor meeting and a self-reflection exercise

• Certification as a CQSP once you finish all 3 courses

REAL TIME INVESTMENT

3–5 hrs

per week

Why we say this upfront — Students who understand the real time commitment before enrolling are far more likely to finish the program and use the certification.
