# Celebrate Quality Month This November with the AIAG Core Tools Knowledge Badge

by [AIAG](https://blog.aiag.org/author/aiag) | Nov 09, 2023

![core tools knowledge badgev2  500x500](https://blog.aiag.org/hs-fs/hubfs/core%20tools%20knowledge%20badgev2%20%20500x500.png?width=500&height=500&name=core%20tools%20knowledge%20badgev2%20%20500x500.png)

Originally developed for the automotive industry in the 1980s, the Quality Core Tools – i.e., APQP, PPAP, FMEA, MSA, and SPC – are the building blocks of an effective quality management system.

Today, most automotive companies (and many other manufacturing sectors) require use of one or more of the Core Tools, making this knowledge – and initiatives like our [Quality Core Tools Knowledge Badge](https://www.aiag.org/quality/automotive-core-tools/quality-core-tools-knowledge-badge) – more critical than ever. 

Free for AIAG members, the Quality Core Tools Knowledge Badge helps current and future automotive professionals assess their knowledge and gain exposure to the various Core Tools.

Earning the badge is easy: Start by taking our Core Tools Self-Assessment (CTSA) to get your baseline scores, then take the six associated Core Tools eLearning modules before retaking the CTSA. Once you’ve scored an 80% in all four Core Tools, you get the badge!
