Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Certification

The Green Belt certification process includes:

• Complete project documentation must be provided. Sensitive data can be modified in the interest of confidentiality.
• Candidates should plan to complete the project process within 6 months of completing the exam.
• The Fisher College of Business Review Board will provide final approval and award certification.
