2. Certification Instructions for Green Belt and Black Belt Candidates2.1 Overview of the Standard Process for Members training with AOBIL
➀ TRAINING Candidates enrol and undertake formal Lean Six Sigma training with AOBIL
Green Belts = 4 Modules (classroom or online)
Black Belts = 2 Modules (online)
➁ PROJECTS Candidates apply the methodology in a work based environment.
OPTION 1 -‐ Par@cipants lead at least 1 work based business improvement project that adds quan@fiable value to a company using relevant Lean and Six Sigma methodologies
OPTION 2 -‐ Candidates ajend a 3-‐day Masterclass where they u@lise the AOBIL simula@on to complete a Lean Project and a Six Sigma Project with other candidates.
It is important to recognise that while a minimum of one project must be completed for Green Belt, in some cases two or more projects will be required to demonstrate competency for the more comprehensive levels. This is par@cularly important as Lean and Six Sigma address different outcomes.
Black Belt Candidates must lead a total of at least 3 work based business improvement projects that add quan@fiable value to a company
➂ APPLICATION Candidates obtain a cer<fica<on kit
(the kit is provided when you purchase the LSSGB or LSSBB Cer@fica@on)
Candidates apply for cer<fica<on and lodge evidence of competency for assessment
Note: Candidates who follow the Masterclass route u@lise work from that class.
➃ REVIEW Applica@ons are reviewed and candidates no<fied of progress status
➄ EXAMINATION FOR GREEN BELTS
Formal examina<on is undertaken using the AOBIL online planorm
Notes: Candidates who follow the Masterclass route undertake GB exam during that class.
Black Belt candidates who complete QDM and QFD modules do not need to sit an exam.
➅ FOLLOW UP Where gaps exist, ac@on is taken to close those gaps which might include formal training (if not previously undertaken) and prac@cal demonstra<on of competency
➆ CERTIFICATION Formal cer<fica<on is issued for the full qualifica<on as determined by the level of competency demonstrated

2.2 Recognition of Prior Learning Yes, AOBIL will recognise training undertaken with other organisa@ons. The RPL process differs slightly from the standard cer@fica@on process in two ways:
• Candidates have par@cipated in some formal training with another organisa<on; and
• Candidates must assemble a comprehensive submission that demonstrates their competency for all elements of the qualifica@on being sought. The onus remains with the par@cipant to demonstrate competency.
Note: Details of the RPL process are provided in a separate document upon request.
2.3 What You Need To Do Now
➀ DOCUMENTS Choose the relevant Online Cer<fica<on Product (available on the AOBIL web site)
Once you have acquired it, you will receive an LSS Cer<fica<on Pack as well as access to the examina@on planorm on the specified dates
