What is certification ?
• Confirmation that you have achieved a learning standard in Lean Six Sigma or Six Sigma
• However there is no recognised standard • Why?
– Large companies want to do it their own way– Every company does it slightly different – There is no assessment body– High costs of external certification

Why is certification important?
• There has to be a way of proving that you have not only completed your Lean Six Sigma training but also that you have applied it
• Employers look for people who are certified. They know it is not an exact science but they still want certified Black and Green Belts
• Smart employers know what to ask at interview. We ask 3 simple questions – Tell us about your training– Tell us about how you certified – Tell us about the projects you have run

How do I certify?
• The best practise certification process which companies like GE and Motorola use so so do we at 100% Effective Training is outlined below
• Black Belts – Complete all the days of your training course– Pass an exam at the end of the course– Complete to the end of the control phase 2 projects– Present the projects and then pass an interview on the DMAIC
process and the tools and techniques
• Green Belts – As above but you only need to complete 1 project

discussion • Example projects
– Improve the quality in a manufacturing line– Increase the productivity in a call centre– Reduce delivery costs

What happened is I fail?
• We generally don’t let people go for their certification interview until we know they are ready
• However if you did show a lack of knowledge in a certain topic then we would provide you with some case study work which you would submit to us for review
