Exam
The IQF Six Sigma Exam is CD-based, which
offers two advantages: the exam may be taken at your leisure (rather than
at pre-determined times and locations), and it encourages the use of
analytical software in developing your response. In this way, the testing
is a bit more realistic than multiple choice exams. Participants, and
their Sponsoring Organizations, generally appreciate the added challenge
of the real-world problem solving exercises. The exam may also be
site-licensed by companies for their continued use.
The cost of the Exam is $199. [
