ALIGNMENT WITH ISO 18404.

ISO 18404:2015 defines the competencies for the attainment of specific levels of competency with regards to Six Sigma, Lean, and "Lean & Six Sigma" in individuals.

AuSQ’s ISO 18404-aligned Black Belt, Green Belt and Lean practitioner certifications are consistent with the Standard’s certification process:

1. Training

AuSQ’s Black Belt, Green Belt and Lean practitioner training are based on the international standard, to ensure internationally recognised standard or consistent approach.

2. Project Work

Skills and competence are developed through application, and by completing Lean and/or Six Sigma business improvement projects where individuals are able to put into practice what they have been taught. Submission of a portfolio of evidence of practice is required.

3. Individual Assessment

AuSQ assesses an individual’s competency against the Standard through approved knowledge tests (paper or online).

Design for Six Sigma and Yellow Belt are not included in ISO 18404:2015.
