Lean Six Sigma White Belt Exam
After a delegate has gone through our 3-day white belt training course, there will be a final exam that will need to be passed for them to be awarded their Lean Six Sigma White Belt certification. The exam is made up of multiple choice questions which will test delegates on the principles of Lean, Six Sigma and the knowledge needed to improve the effectiveness of business projects.
With the comprehensive training we provide and the optional coaching available from our team, we’re confident that anyone who completes all the sessions will be well-prepared to pass the exam. In the unlikely event that someone doesn’t pass, we’ll work with them to explore their options for retaking it.

Lean Six Sigma White Belt FAQs
What Is Lean Six Sigma?
Lean Six Sigma (LSS) is a methodology for improving business processes, combining two well-established management approaches: Lean and Six Sigma.
- Lean is a philosophy that seeks to eliminate waste from processes in order to maximise customer value. It promotes continuous improvement through small, incremental changes that help teams work more efficiently and effectively.
- Six Sigma is a data-driven set of techniques aimed at enhancing the quality of business processes by reducing errors and defects. It aspires to near-perfect performance, with fewer than 3.4 defects per million opportunities. This level of quality is achieved through the DMAIC framework – Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, and Control.
Are There Any Prerequisites for the White Belt Course?
As this is an introductory course, delegates do not need to have studied Lean Six Sigma methodology previously. However, delegates may find it useful to have some awareness of Lean and Six Sigma principles which could have been gained through a Lean Awareness course.
