214 - The Best 5 Certifications for ANY Quality Career Path (CQE, Green Belt, CQA & More)

Let's Combinate · 19 Nov 2025 · 19m

What this episode covers

Andy Robertson, founder of CQE Academy, discusses how obtaining his CQE certification transformed his career by boosting his confidence and practical skills, particularly through applying Design of Experiments (DOE) to solve real-world engineering problems. He outlines his top five recommended certifications for quality professionals, including the ASQ’s CQE, Green Belt, and CQA, as well as non-ASQ credentials like the PMP and CQM/OE, explaining how each supports different career paths from technical problem-solving to leadership. The conversation highlights the value of cross-industry learning, noting how medical device professionals can benefit from adopting automotive industry standards like AIAG’s MSA handbook for test method validation.

    #452: Switching Careers to MedTech: A Practical Guide for Engineers and Professionals

    Etienne Nichols, a former aerospace engineer turned MedTech professional, explains how engineers and quality professionals from automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing can transition into the medical device industry. He outlines three primary entry points—Quality, Regulatory Affairs, and Product Development—and emphasizes that while technical skills like root cause analysis and project management transfer well, the mindset must shift from 'move fast and break things' to rigorous documentation and risk management. Nichols provides a five-step roadmap for career switchers, including learning regulatory language, obtaining targeted certifications, and networking with intention, before concluding that long-term career growth requires mastering the 'layer above competence': communication, visibility, and storytelling.
