Lean Six Sigma Exam Prep Green Belt and Black Belt
Lean Six Sigma (LSS), made famous by Toyota Motor Company, was developed in manufacturing environments and is the prevailing cost and waste elimination method used successfully in both private and public organizations. Applicable to both industrial/manufacturing processes as well as transactional/customer service processes, these credentials qualify professionals for process improvement in their organization. While Green Belts usually serve as part-time leaders or members of Six Sigma projects, Black Belts are a full-time change agent within the organization. Indeed, Black Belts are so central to the execution and delivery of Six Sigma projects that Black Belt training is often the first step for companies implementing the highly valuable Six Sigma process.

Project Management Professional (PMP) and Certified Associate in Project Management
Certified by the Project Management Institute, the PMP Certification is the most important and widely recognized certification in project management. Leading to increased marketability and higher salaries, this credential is in high demand in many areas of the workforce, from construction and contracting to marketing and IT. There are some prerequisites, including a secondary degree and some project management experience, but once these are met, CleanEdison's course streamlines the certification preparation process with live or online instruction and extensive course materials.

With its new list of course offerings, CleanEdison remains at the forefront of professional certification and vocational skills education. As more people are being propelled toward these kinds of jobs due to a "skills gap" and a growing population of retiring baby boomers, these cost effective training programs will only increase in appeal and long-term value.
