Six Sigma Green Belt Certification Course
Friday-Sunday, Oct. 23-25th, 2026 [Location TBD]
Six Sigma Green Belt (SSGB):
Learn how to integrate principles of business, statistics and engineering to achieve tangible results. Master the use of Six Sigma to quantify the critical quality issues in your company. Once the issues have been quantified, apply statistics to provide probabilities of success and failure. Six Sigma methods increase productivity and enhance quality. As a Six Sigma green belt, you will be equipped to support and champion Six Sigma implementation in your organization.

AI Essentials offers Industrial Systems Engineers (ISEs) a hands-on introduction to the Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools and concepts revolutionizing the field. Whether you’re optimizing factory floors, streamlining supply chains, or improving healthcare operations, this course equips you with the foundational knowledge and practical applications of AI, machine learning, and optimization. Through real-world use cases, live tool demonstrations, and guided frameworks, you’ll learn how to leverage AI technologies to drive efficiency, insight, and innovation in your work. This course is perfect for ISEs across manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and consulting.
At the end of the courses, participants who pass the IISE Green Belt Exam will receive IISE’s Six Sigma Green Belt Certificate (valid for 3 years with renewal options).
All majors are welcome.
In-person on the OSU Campus [Location TBD], 9am-6pm on Friday and Saturday, 7:30am-10:30am on Sunday. The certification exam is taken online at the conclusion of the course before 10:30am.

Six Sigma Background
The philosophy of Six Sigma recognizes that there is a direct correlation between the number of product defects, wasted operating costs, and the level of customer satisfaction. With Six Sigma, the common measurement index is defects per unit and can include anything from a component, piece of material, or line of code to an administrative form, time frame, or distance. Six Sigma emphasizes identifying and avoiding variation. The use of Six Sigma changes the discussion of quality from one where quality levels are measured in percentages (parts per hundred) to a discussion of parts per million or even parts per billion.
The implementation of Six Sigma is a team process. The top executive and upper management must be part of the Six Sigma process. Six Sigma is a multiyear undertaking that demands an ironclad commitment—way beyond lip service—from the highest corporate executive. In short, it is not a quick fix.
Since organizations are built around people and their knowledge, the success of the Six Sigma quality improvement strategy depends on individuals who are properly trained. The successful Six Sigma efforts are led by individuals within the organizations, commonly called “black belts,” who are experts in the methods and applications of the Six Sigma tools.
Six Sigma Green Belt Curriculum Overview
The training for the Six Sigma Green Belt is compliant with ISO 13053. Concepts and methodologies are explained and illustrated. Participants learn about data collection and the interpretation of the data, specifically as it relates to the processes. Participants must pass an examination on the afternoon of the last day and complete a company supervised project to receive the IISE Green Belt Certificate. The course covers the Body of Knowledge required for the Certified Six Sigma Green Belt. The last day of the training includes IISE’s Six Sigma Green Belt Exam.
This course is offered as a three-day class with the exam on the final afternoon.
