Answer: Who should sign up for Six Sigma
Certification?
Six Sigma Certification can be
applied to many aspects of business, and
therefore can benefit almost all companies. By
signing up your employees, Six Sigma can
drastically improve your organization, and at
the same time help your employees climb the
corporate ladder. Six Sigma has become the
flagship method for separating your organization
from its competition.

Answer: Why Six Sigma?
Six Sigma is a highly disciplined approach that
allows us to focus on creating and delivering
nearly-perfect products and services. The
underlying idea being that if you can measure
how many "defects" you have in a process, you
can systematically figure out a way to eliminate
them and get as close to "zero defects" as
possible. This concept is the motivating factor
why employers today are increasingly searching
for candidates with this type of certification.

Answer: What if I choose to withdraw from the
course?

agree to terms and conditions. You may withdraw
from the course with no penalty up to two weeks
prior to the course start date. thereafter, you
will be committed to doing the course, or at
very least you will be liable for the fee. If
you fall ill, or there is a death in the family,
you will be free to re-attend at any time in the
following 3 months.

Answer: How long will it take me to complete the
course?
Our Green Belt course takes one week (five days
full time) for the classes, and following the
course you will be required to submit a project
to green belt standards. This will take you a
five to ten hours a week for a couple of weeks
to complete. The time frame allowed for
submission of the project is 3 months.
Our Black Belt course takes two weeks (ten days
full time - split over two sessions) for the
classes, and following the course you will be
required to submit a project to black belt
standards. This will take you a five to ten
hours a week for a few weeks to complete.

Answer: What are the certification requirements
for Six Sigma Certification?
Students must pass a written green belt exam,
which we do at the end of every course. Then a
project is required to be submitted. Three
months is allocated for the completion of the
project. Upon passing the project, Six Sigma
green belt certification is awarded.
Students must pass a written black belt exam,
which we do at the end of each week of the black
belt course. There are two weeks for black belt,
therefore two written tests Then a project is
required to be submitted. Six months is
allocated for the completion of the project.

Answer: Do I require to do Green Belt in order
to do Black Belt?
We judge each delegate on their own experience
before making a decision about whether they
should attend Green belt before the black belt,
or go straight to black belt. In rare cases
where there has been vast pre-requisite
experience in the project and engineering field,
we will enrol a student directly on Black belt.
Usually a student is required to attend green
belt before the black belt. No experience is
required before enrolling for green belt.
