Where it starts.

Each project arrives with its purpose, milestones and first tasks written out. Here is how the first three read.

Choosing between ASQ, IASSC and an employer belt programme

Green Belts are awarded by professional bodies such as ASQ, by exam-only accreditors such as IASSC, by training providers and by employers' own deployment programmes, and recruiters do not weigh them equally. Comparing three routes on recognition in your sector, whether a completed project is required, cost and exam format before you study saves you from earning a belt that your next employer quietly discounts.

First tasks

  • List three Green Belt routes open to you, including any employer programme
  • Search twenty job adverts in your sector and count which belts they name
  • Price each route including training, exam fee, retake and membership
  • Record the route you chose and why in the decision note

Green Belt eligibility and project requirement check

Some bodies ask for years of work experience in areas of the Body of Knowledge, some want a signed project affidavit, and some let anyone sit the exam. Reading the current rules for your chosen route now tells you whether you can book once you are ready or must first finish a project or gather evidence of experience.

First tasks

  • Read the current Green Belt eligibility rules on your awarding body's website
  • Note the exam format, open book rules and allowed calculators with today's date
  • List your roles that involved process, quality or data work
  • Write down whether a project affidavit or sponsor signature is required

Body of Knowledge baseline self-assessment

Every Green Belt exam is written against a published Body of Knowledge, and most candidates overrate their statistics and underrate the Define phase. Scoring yourself line by line, then checking with a diagnostic quiz, gives you a study plan aimed at your real gaps instead of the textbook's page order.

First tasks

  • Download the current Body of Knowledge for your belt route
  • Score every topic from 0 to 3 in a spreadsheet
  • Take a 50 question diagnostic quiz without notes
  • Rank your five weakest topics and put them first in the plan

Make it yours.

Install Six Sigma Yellow and Green Belt, then tell Aurum the date you're aiming for. It checks whether the plan fits the weeks you actually have.
