Lean Six Sigma Certification

Lean Six Sigma is all about reducing waste and time from processes. Whether it is a manufacturing process or a service process, Lean Six Sigma will help design a faster, less costly process with improved quality.

The IQF certification exam is nothing like traditional certification exams. Instead, it is a rigorous, computer-based test of your ability to use modern methods to improve business operations. The exam consists of 2 modules:

  1. Fundamentals – short questions & problems designed to test the basic understanding of Lean Six Sigma tools & concepts.
  2. Applications (not required for Green Belt) – detailed problems designed to test LeanSix Sigma problem solving ability.

Each of these modules must be completed in 4 hours. The exam is open book, and any computer software may be used.

In addition to the exam, project work and for the Master Black Certification, teaching and mentoring are required as shown in the table below.
