Certification
The LSSx.0™ Lean Six Sigma Green Belt certification is awarded upon successful completion of two separate examinations:
-
Lean Management Examination
-
Six Sigma Green Belt Examination
Both exams validate knowledge aligned with the LSSx.0™ body of knowledge, ensuring participants can independently lead DMAIC projects and resolve complex quality challenges.
Examination Format
- Online, closed-book exams with remote video monitoring
- Lean Practitioner Examination : 25 multiple-choice questions – 50 minutes
- Six Sigma Green Belt Examination : 35 multiple-choice questions – 70 minutes
- Available in French or English
-
Exams must be completed within six months of training
Passing Criteria
-
Minimum score: 60% per exam
-
One retake per exam included in case of failure
- Additional attempts available upon purchase of a new exam
