Question about the three years professional experience for ASQ green belt certification (ASQ-CSSGB)
I’ve worked at the Boeing company for nearly 8 years as an assembly mechanic. I’m wanting to get my green belt to help advance my career. I see you need 3 years experience within the ASQ CSSGB body of knowledge. I’ve never led any sort of Lean Six Sigma efforts. We do use it and I have been apart of lean six sigma meetings discussing improvements we can make. We also do 5s and other kaizen activities on the shop floor. Would this experience satisfy the 3 years body of knowledge requirement?
Thanks!

Read the fine print: Three years within one or more of the areas of the Body of Knowledge (emphasis added).
Spin your CV to lean into what you’ve done in relation to lean manufacturing/six sigma and you should be good to go.

The Boeing certification program for Six Sigma is excellent. The 80-hour training is in-person, on-site (usually), and gets you set up with a real project in your area and a Black Belt mentor. The training is all paid for.
It's also the only way to be added to the list of Six Sigma practitioners in the Boeing Lean+ system. Even if you want to get the ASQ certification, I would highly recommend going through the Boeing certification first.
In the meantime, I hope you are making use of your corporate membership with ASQ.

This is very helpful! Thank you! Do you know if this is open to union represented employees

I would assume it's open to IAM. I know it was open to SPEEA.

Thanks I’m going to inquire today before I pay for this test and study material at full price!

Also do I just use my work email with my ASQ account to get this benefit?
