IISE is excited to offer several options for Lean & Six Sigma Green Belt certifications this semester! All courses will be offered in an online asynchronous format. No prerequisite knowledge is required, and all majors are welcome.
The following 10 minute video provides a quick overview along with some applications of Lean & Six Sigma - it is broken out into several parts that can be viewed independently from one another: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygBunU4Jd5Y
More reasons to pursue these certifications:
They allow you to differentiate yourself in an incredibly competitive job market - and look great on your resume/LinkedIn
Six Sigma certificate-holders earn an average of $15,000 more than their peers
IISE courses are accredited by IACET meaning that they meet internationally-recognized high quality education standards
Students pay 1/3 the cost that professionals do for these courses
For each course, students will be required to pass an exam to receive the certification. The exams are timed, open-book, open-note, and you will have two attempts to pass. All certifications are valid for three years but can be renewed for $25 by emailing cs@iise.org.
Students have historically performed very well on these exams, regardless of whether they were administered in-person or online. From Spring 2021 - Spring 2022, the overall pass rate across all universities was 91% for the IISE Lean Green Belt Exam and 94% for the IISE Six Sigma Green Belt Exam, with even higher pass rates among GT students.
Registration is open now! The last day to sign up is March 30, 2023 at 11:59 PM. You will receive access to course materials right after you sign up, and you will have six months (for individual Lean & Six Sigma courses) or one year (for combined Lean Six Sigma course) from your registration date to complete the course. Most students will take 21-24 total hours to complete the individual Lean & Six Sigma courses or 80 total hours for the combined Lean Six Sigma course, but each student can work at their own pace.
