ABOUT SIX SIGMA CERTIFICATION
Six Sigma Champion training is oriented to executives and managers who champion Six Sigma projects, including such issues as project selection, establishing key success factors, building a team, and supporting the team through completion and ultimate success.
The Green Belt certification is the entry level certification for the field. The Green Belt analyzes and solves quality problems and is involved in quality improvement projects, and in a formal sense works under the supervision of a Black Belt. The Green Belt certification is based on the Six Sigma Body of Knowledge (BOK), and knowledge areas required and covered in the ASQ test are outlined in a
description of the Six Sigma BOK. Applicants for the test are required to have 3 years of experience within this BOK. See
ASQ™s Six Sigma Green Belt certification for further details.
The Six Sigma Black Belt certification is the advanced level Six Sigma certification. Six Sigma Black Belts have a greater depth of knowledge of all aspects of the DMAIC (define, measure, analyze, improve and control) and other process models of Six Sigma. In addition, Black Belts must be able to handle leadership roles in the context of Six Sigma projects. Six Sigma Black Belt certification requires that you complete at least two Six Sigma projects and submit a project affidavit for one. Knowledge required can be found in the
summary of the Six Sigma Body of Knowledge. You may also want to check out the
