Certification requires that Green Belt candidates complete training, pass an online examination, and successfully complete one improvement project using an appropriate methodology and key tools in all phases.  NB:  An administrative fee for certification applies. Software - Participants need to bring a laptop computer preloaded with Microsoft Excel (Windows 97 or higher). They will receive Excel add-ins for additional statistical functionality. Who should attend Anyone interested in learning the basic problem solving and statistical skills needed to work effectively as a team leader or as a member of an improvement team. Green Belts who are groomed in the Six Sigma methodology help cascade Six Sigma approaches and techniques throughout your organization.
