FAQs
How do I claim PDUs after completing my training?
You will need to go to the PMI website and log into your account. Your certificate should include the code and REP number for the course that you completed. The REP code for Six Sigma.us is 2530. If you need the code for your course, you may contact us for assistance. Once you are in your PMI account, please follow their directions to claim your PDUs. For assistance with claiming your PDUs through the PMI website, please contact PMI directly at http://www.pmi.org/About-Us/Customer-Care.aspx
Do you offer Lean Six Sigma training and certification?
Yes. Lean and Six Sigma are two separate methodologies that work very well together. Lean is a methodology based on waste reduction, while Six Sigma is a methodology based on process improvement. Both options are being used together in many organizations, so a Lean Six Sigma approach is very popular. You may obtain a Lean Six Sigma certification by combining our Lean Flow Fundamentals with any Six Sigma Green, Black, or Master Black Belt option. You may also earn a Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt by completing the Lean Introduction and the two day Yellow Belt. Online Lean Six Sigma options are also available and require the completion of the Lean Level III training and any online Green or Black Belt program. Lean Level II may be combined with our online Yellow Belt for a Lean Yellow Belt program.
What is a blended or accelerated program?
Blended or accelerated programs allow the student to attend part of the training (typically the first 3 days, first week, or last two weeks) in a classroom environment with the rest of the training completed online. Please contact us to learn more about our blended options.
