Archived 6 sigma or lean

Just be advised - the course itself will NOT get you any certification. You must complete a project/process using their guidelines.....

Actually the first belt requires no project just an exam. The black belt is what requires a project, I’ve since partnered with me senior and hrbp concerning it and hr is looking to see if it qualifies for tuition reimbursement or not
