Green Belt Certification
Six Sigma Green Belt Certification
The ICFQ ® Six Sigma Green Belt Certification helps in building a foundation in the six sigma methodology. It is an intermediate-level certification in the hierarchy of the six sigma knowledge areas, which explains the tools and techniques required for implementing the six sigma methodology. A Six Sigma Green Belt professional is often guided by a black belt certified trainer in tasks related to monitoring and improvement of quality.
What is Lean Six Sigma?
Lean Six Sigma is an effort towards continuous process improvements by eliminating the impediments, otherwise termed as ‘Waste’. Lean Six Sigma is a combination of two methodologies- The Lean Methodology and the Six Sigma Methodology. Lean philosophy is combined with the Six Sigma tools, for ensuring quality in the operational workflow.
Examination
The examination pattern consists of multiple-choice questions with 3 hours duration. The minimum score required for passing is 70%.
Requirements to become a Green Belt Professional
In order to achieve the professional designation of ICFQ ® Certified Green Belt from the International Council for Quality Certification, candidates must sit for the ICFQ ® Certified Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Exam and achieve a minimum score of 70%.
There are no prerequisites required in order to sit for the ICFQ ® Certified Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Exam. For more about this see FAQs.
Role Definition
Green Belts are employees of an organization who have been trained on the Six Sigma improvement methodology and will lead a process improvement team as part of their full‐time job. Operates under the supervision of a Six Sigma Black Belt/Six Sigma Master Black Belt. Analyzes and solves quality problems (Relatively less complex).
