The Six Sigma Green Belt Certification course developed exclusively for the Management and Strategy Institute is designed to give the student a solid understanding of Six Sigma principles and teach you how to effectively work within a Six Sigma team.  Learn to improve quality and reduce defects within your organization.

Six Sigma Green Belts should have a good understanding of the DMAIC process and an understanding of how process changes can be implemented. They work directly with Black Belts to define processes within their organization.  They begin by determining who is the owner of the process they are working to improve. This is the single individual or group with responsibility for the end-to-end process.  Next they define the scope, boundaries, or limitations for the process.  The final step is to develop a high level process map which shows the start and end points of the process.

You'll learn about SIPOC diagrams and Critical-to-Quality (CTQ) elements like Cost, process, safety, and delivery.  You'll also gain an understanding of the Cost of Poor Quality (COPQ) and how it is measured in different industries.  Green Belts must have a strong understanding of who your customers are and what is important to them.  Understanding customer feedback through the Voice of the Customer (VOC) and determining the requirements for your product.  Prioritizing issues related to your product, you'll work to determine internal processes and what causes variation.

Our Six Sigma Green Belt certification exam will test your fundamental understanding of these concepts.  The exam is completed online and can be done from home or work.  The study material is completely self-paced, so you can take the exam as soon as you feel you're ready.

MSI also offers a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt for those looking to have Lean incorporated into their certification.  If you're looking for a leadership role within Six Sigma, we suggest taking our Six Sigma Black Belt Certification Online.

MSI now includes the exclusive YBsim™ and GBsim™ simulations with this Green Belt certification.  These Six Sigma simulators walk you through several aspects of a Six Sigma project to help you gain valuable, first-hand experience.  In the YBsim™ simulation, you'll gain an understanding of Six Sigma team roles as the project charter is developed.  Once that is completed, you'll move on to the GBsim™.  There, you'll look at the DMAIC process in more depth by discussing the project objectives, data gathering, and Critical to Quality (CTx) elements.

With MSI, you get more value for your money.  This certification includes the training material, a project simulation, and the MSI certification exam.

What is Included for the price of $199.95?
  • Online study material to prepare for exam.
  • MSI Certification exam, completed online.
  • Mailing of certificate & transcripts once certified.

Are There Prerequisites?
No, the Six Sigma Green Belt Certification course includes all of the course work for the Green Belt and Yellow Belt levels.  You will learn the Yellow Belt material first, before moving on to the Green Belt material.

Is the Green Belt Certification Test Difficult?
Green Belts must function at a high level within a Six Sigma project.  It is important for Green Belts to have a solid understanding of the related principles so that they can perform the functions assigned to them by a Black Belt.  This test is open book, however it is also timed, so you will not have much time to look up answers to questions.  It is very important that you study and understand the material prior to taking the test or you will not pass..

How in-depth is the training?
The Six Sigma Green Belt online certification course, by definition, is a mid-level certification.  It is not designed to make you an expert on all facets of the Six Sigma.  This professional development course was designed to teach someone with little knowledge of Six Sigma the basic skills needed to function as a Green Belt on a Six Sigma team.  Many executive jobs today require that their employees have at least a basic understanding of Six Sigma.  For an example, click on this job search link to see how many positions mention the words "Six Sigma".

How long is the training course?
The training course is self-paced. Time to complete and fully comprehend will vary with every individual. It may take several days or weeks of study before you feel comfortable to take the final test. You may take the final exam as soon as you're ready. You have 1 year from the date of purchase to complete the course.

Is there an additional study guide I can order?
Yes, MSI offers several options for those who would like to order a book to assist with their studies.

If you prefer a physical book, we offer the "Six Sigma Green Belt Core Concepts Guide".  This pocket guide not only helps prepare you for the exam, but also makes the perfect reference book for future use.

MSI also offers digital books which can be purchased or rented at a significantly discounted rate.  These books are perfect for learning additional Six Sigma concepts:
  - Six Sigma and Beyond
  - Six Sigma Fundamentals

How is the exam structured?
This certification exam is timed with a limit of 2 hours.  The exam is completed online from home or work.  You may take the exam as soon as you are ready, it does not need to be scheduled in advance.  All questions are multiple choice.

Reviews:
"We have a large Six Sigma project going and my company paid for 12 of us to get our Green Belt certification through MSI.  I definitely feel like this program prepared me to help with the project."  Donna O.

"I just finished my business management degree and I learned about Six Sigma while in college.  I decided to get my green belt because I knew it would help me get a job.  Having certifications in addition to a degree should help me stand out."  Mark S.

"I already have a Yellow Belt but I wanted to learn more about process improvement so I decided to do a Green Belt program.  I really liked the MSI program and I'm glad I picked this one.  It was the perfect balance between learning the key concepts and being able to complete it fairly quickly." - Corbin G.
