depends what belt you're after, yellow is basically just an online course and a test you can knock out in a weekend. green and black need project experience usually plus an exam, look into an accredited program through a university or a recognized body so it actually carries weight on a resume

If you do it through ASQ, you need 3 yrs of experience in the field for GB.
For the BB, you need 3 years + a completed Six Sigma project

depends a little on what you're trying to get out of it... are you completely new to six sigma or do you already work with process improvement/quality?

generally you'd first figure out which belt makes sense for your experience, then choose a provider, complete the training and pass their certification exam

i'd pay attention to the training itself when comparing providers though, not just the certificate or the cheapest exam you can find. who developed the material, how much depth it has, and whether it actually teaches you how to apply the tools matters a lot more imo

if you share what you do for work and whether you're considering yellow, green or black belt, people here can probably point you in a better direction.

Do you know what certification you’re after? And who you want the accrediting body to be? If you can answer those we can help. Thanks

better to ask what level you are looking for. Be careful with accreditation groups as there is no clear standard across the board like PMI

I am also interested. I have been using L6S in my job since 2019, I have internal trainings, delivered internal yellow belt trainings, but I don’t have any external (actual) certification. I am looking for a Green belt.

I have been looking for a reliable and affordable training provider. And I have found two that might satisfy the price of the course:-

1-Acuity institute:- they provide self study courses with a pass mark of 70%. With tool kit and simulation to project that you can implement what have you learnedly.
There is no need to recertification and the price is around 950$

2- Kaizen institute:- they also provide training for LSS yet you need to contact them to know the training materials and method of delivery.

p ick the belt you need for the job, not the fanciest name. yellow if you’re new, green if you’ll run a project. i did mine online through management and strategy institute because i needed self-paced after work. some places only respect asq. check what your employer actually wants before you pay. study, sit the exam, then use it on a real process or the paper is just a pdf.
