Six-Sigma Green Belt Certification:
Course Credit & Certification Rules Regarding the Class
For Course Credit:
This course is different from any other course at the Crummer Graduate School at Rollins College. This is a Green Belt Training course leading to a professional certification upon completion of all requirements. Participants are to complete all online modules and attend all classroom sessions.
The course grade is a pass or fail. There are no A, B, or C grades awarded.
There are four exams; each exam has three sections with ninety minutes allowed for each section. The students have about a month between the last class day and when grades are due to take the exams. To pass the course; the students must get a 70% on each section of each exam. If a student doesn't pass, the student can retake the section two more times until he/she passes.
For Green Belt Certification:
All exams must be passed and a project must be completed with the final report submitted to BMGI for review, final reports should be submitted to . You have up to 9 months after the course is completed (that is, when your P or F grade is submitted) for final report submission. Up to two people may work a project as a group and submit the final report together.
The criteria for acceptance are that the report must show substantial evidence of using the DMAIC method and must exhibit a good selection of the tools learned during training. The two most common reasons for rejecting a final report are: 1) no credible list of process changes that improved the process and 2) no positive evidence (data) showing a statistically probable improvement. As we teach during class, DMAIC is results oriented, not activity oriented. Doing all the DMAIC activities, but not arriving at a solution does not get one certified.
