Participants will be given 2 hours to complete the exam and will be allowed to use their course manuals during the exam. This exam is similar to the exam delivered by the ASQ. After completing this exam, participants will be able to register for the ASQ exam, if they so desire, in order to obtain certification from the ASQ. Obtaining certification from Technologia: • Passing score on the exam delivered at the end of the course • Presentation of a completed business process improvement project • Evaluation of participant’s file by a Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt ASQ exam • Each certification candidate must complete and pass a multiple-choice exam that measures their understanding of the overall body of knowledge. • The computer-based CSSYB exam is a one-part exam that consists of 165 questions. The exam is 4.5 hours long and offered in English only. There are 150 scored questions and 15 unscored questions. • The paper CSSYB exam is a one-part exam that consists of 150 questions.

Training will take place over a 3-month period: 10 days of training, 7 hours per day (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) and a half-day for the exam. If, after completing the course, you wish to carry out a process improvement project (DMAIC method) within your organization and would like to obtain personalized coaching for your project, you may add 10 hours of individual coaching to your training.
The reference manual used for training is available only in English since it originates from the Book of Knowledge of the American Society of Quality.
