FAQs
How much does the certification program cost?
TMG’s Lean Six Sigma (DMAIC) Certification Program costs $10,000 per candidate to attend.
Where will the program be held?
This certification program will be held in the Hampton Roads Area of Virginia. Since our program includes Plant Tours and guest speakers, the actual location of the sessions may rotate in the local area. Details will be shared with the candidates as the program begins. Due to the global pandemic of COVID-19, we are also offering the option to join virtually via Zoom. For any of our in-person sessions/meetings, we will take precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and provide a safe environment for our candidates and instructors.
Do I need to attend every session?
In short, the answer is yes. In order to get complete the program, we require that the candidate(s) are able to attend all 6 LSS DMAIC Process training sessions (11 days total). In the Executive Leadership Education and Planning Session, we work with the executive and managerial leaders as well as the students to reiterate the importance of the candidate’s attendance at all the sessions.
Will I receive ASQ Certification?
Although this curriculum is based on the ASQ Body of Knowledge, it does not include the ASQ Exam or Green Belt/Black Belt Certification. TMG’s Lean Six Sigma (DMAIC) Certification Program will prepare candidates to pass the ASQ Exams which are offered at regional testing sites for an additional fee.
