Lean Six Sigma courses from QA

Passing your Lean Six Sigma Green Belt and Black Belt examination

Delegates must pass the examination on the last afternoon of the Lean Six Sigma Practitioner Green Belt (Part 2) or Lean Six Sigma Practitioner Black Belt course, as appropriate. The examination takes circa two hours for Green Belt and four hours for Black Belt; the exams mainly use multiple-choice questions. The cost of the examination is included in the course fees. If delegates fail the exam then they will have to re-sit the examination on a Friday afternoon at a later date; there is no charge for up to 3 re-sits. Delegates do not need to redo the course in its entirety. A certificate will be provided to show the course has been attended and the exam has been passed.

How to become Lean Six Sigma Green Belt and Black Belt certified

Delegates must also complete a Lean Six Sigma project within their organisation. The project needs to adequately test their knowledge and application of the Lean Six Sigma methodology and relevant tools. Delegates must lead the project and not just be a team member. Green Belt projects should represent relatively "simple' improvement challenges whilst Black Belt projects should be more demanding; please discuss your proposed project with your course tutor.

Delegates can either provide documentation for independent assessment (for which there is an additional charge of £300/project), or they can complete an affidavit for the project. The affidavit requires the company to audit the claimed benefits; with a senior manager/executive signature to verify that this has been done. For Black belt certification delegates will also have a telephone interview with a Master Black Belt about their project.

When you have completed all of the above you will receive a certificate from QA confirming that they are now a Certified Lean Six Sigma Green or Black Belt, as appropriate. A Master Black Belt will sign the certificate.
