Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Certification
A Council for Six Sigma Certification (CSSC) Certified Lean Six Sigma Green Belt is an individual that possesses a thorough understanding of enhanced problem-solving skills, with an emphasis on the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) model. The Green Belt Certification designation also reflects the knowledge by the individual to serve as a trained team member within his or her function-specific area of the organization. This focus allows the Green Belt to work on small, carefully defined Six Sigma projects, requiring less than a Black Belt’s full-time commitment to Six Sigma throughout the organization.
2 Different Paths to Certification
The Council for Sigma Certification (CSSC) offers 2 different paths to earning a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Certification. Individuals who have already received training, and feel that they have significant understanding of the topics covered in the Green Belt Certification “Body of Knowledge,” can simply sit for our standard comprehensive examination.
Individuals who are instead using one of our free Self-Study Guides, either independently or in conjunction with a training provider, can sit for several short exams as they progress through the different sections (as opposed to a single large comprehensive exam).
As an added benefit, those seeking the second option towards Certification would be able to obtain the various levels of our standard certifications (White Belt, Yellow Belt, Green Belt, and Black Belt) as they progress through their certification journey, without incurring any additional examination fees.
Either path will award our official certification(s).
We feel the Multiple Exam path to be the most beneficial option for those who are newer to the methodology, professionals looking for a solid refresher, or those candidates who would like to reduce their overall examination/certification costs.
In Summary:
Path 1: Ideal for candidates:
- Who have already received training and feel that they have a significant understanding the “Body of Knowledge.”
- Who are only seeking a single level of certification.
- Who would be comfortable completing their exam in 2 hours.
- Price: $159.00! (Register)
Path 2: Ideal for candidates:
- Who are utilizing one of our free Self-Study Guides either independently or in conjunction with a training provider.
- Looking to earn the various levels of “Belts” as they progress without incurring additional examination fees.
- That feel they may need more than 3 attempts to pass the examination.
- Who would prefer a non-timed exam format.
- Price: $349.00! (Register)
