Step 1: Six Sigma Education
The first step to Six Sigma certification is the completion of the prescribed days of education.

Step 2: Six Sigma Written Exam
Each Six Sigma candidate must complete a written exam, within a prescribed period of time, after the Six Sigma educational sessions are complete. A minimum passing grade of 80% is required.

Step 3: Six Sigma Project Defense
All candidates must defend their Six Sigma projects. They must show a clear comprehension of the Six Sigma body of knowledge and describe the scientific steps used to reveal a solution. Along with this, each

candidate must document his or her findings in a detailed report. Such a report shall outline the methods of data collection, the analysis performed, information created and the knowledge gained and implemented. This report will communicate the critical knowledge acquired about the strategic business process so that others may employ such knowledge to other strategic business processes if applicable.

Why Choose Our Curriculum?

Our materials were designed in collaboration with an adult education advisor. Our educational materials are easy to follow, user friendly, and have been knowledgably prepared to communicate a complete understanding of the methods used in Six Sigma.

Our Six Sigma program differs from most other Six Sigma programs. Our materials were designed so that Six Sigma candidates discover how to apply statistical methods in a scientific manner for solving critical manufacturing, administrative, and business process problems. The focus is on the in-depth understanding of Six Sigma theories and applications. Most other programs avoid the use of statistical methods through the introduction of a statistical software program. In this manner, students are taught the functionality of such software and do not acquire an in-depth understanding of the statistical tools employed by Six Sigma. Our program assures critical Six Sigma tools and methods are taught, in detail, through our materials by knowledgeable and seasoned professionals.

How Does the Deployment Process Work?

The Knowledge Management Group Inc. employ’s the “Knowledge Creation Model^TM”. This model is made up of four phase called Educate, Apply, Coach, and Communicate (EACē.)

Educate: These sessions consist of the five week long sessions that make up the Six Sigma DMIAC process.

Apply: After each of the Six Sigma phases, each candidate will apply their learning to their respective project, for a period of time, in close consultation with their business champion and Knowledge Management Group Master Black Belt.

Coach: After the appropriate period of time, a Knowledge Management Group Master Black Belt will arrange a project review session with the candidate and discuss the progress of their project and provide advice where needed.

Communicate: During the first day of each Six Sigma educational session each candidate will be required to report the status of their project with findings to the Six Sigma management steering group.
