FAQ
Common questions
Do I need any prior knowledge of Six Sigma or Lean?
None at all. The only requirement is an open mindset and a desire to learn. The course builds from the very basics — including the definition of Six Sigma and why it exists — so it's designed to be accessible whether you've never encountered the topic before or want a structured refresher.
What is the White Belt level, and how does it compare to higher belts?
The White Belt is the entry level in the Six Sigma belt hierarchy. It gives you a high-level overview of Six Sigma and Lean: the philosophy, the DMAIC methodology, the belt roles, and the business context. Higher belt levels (Yellow, Green, Black, Master Black) go progressively deeper into tools, statistical methods, and project leadership. The White Belt is the ideal foundation for any of those paths.
What are the 2 PMI PDUs and 2 SHRM PDCs for?
PDUs (Professional Development Units) count toward maintaining your PMI certification (PMP, CAPM, or other PMI credentials). PDCs (Professional Development Credits) count toward maintaining your SHRM certification (SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP). Both are awarded on successful completion of the optional Quality Gurus Inc. certification exam included with the course. Quality Gurus Inc. is a PMI Authorized Training Partner (ATP #6034) and a SHRM Recertification Partner.
What is the CPD Group (UK) accreditation?
The CPD Group is one of the UK's leading accreditation bodies for continuing professional development. Accreditation confirms this course meets their standards for quality and educational value. Provider #784310, Accreditation #1016186. The accreditation is accepted by professional bodies and employers globally.
How does this course lead to the Quality Gurus Inc. certification?
After completing the course, you can take the optional Quality Gurus Inc. Lean Six Sigma White Belt certification exam at no additional cost. Passing the exam earns you a verified digital certificate and digital badge. The exam also triggers the issuance of your 2 PMI PDUs and 2 SHRM PDCs.
Can I use this course to prepare for the CSSYB (ASQ Certified Six Sigma Yellow Belt)?
This course is a White Belt — it gives you a conceptual overview of Six Sigma and Lean. It is not designed to prepare you for the ASQ CSSYB exam, which tests deeper technical knowledge across a formal Body of Knowledge. If you want CSSYB exam preparation, Quality Gurus Inc. offers a dedicated CSSYB prep course with full BoK coverage.
How long do I have access to the course?
365 days of unlimited access from your enrollment date, including all future updates to the course at no additional cost.

Very interactive session
Basic cleared, Way of explaining was super, Got knowledge of initial level of Belt, looking for next belt
Moulik Dhade
Concise and to the point
I went through the course in one sitting and I pretty much learned all the key points that I needed to know for the Lean Six Sigma white belt test. Sir explained things in a very concise manner which was great. I also did some googling first before actually taking the exam, saw some YouTube videos so I know what to expect for the test. I come from an engineering background and I have some work experience as well I think that also played a part in me clearing the test on the first go. To be honest you can study and take the test in 4-6 hours if you already know how things go in a business because it is the most basic level beginner-friendly test. I took the Free Lean six sigma White belt certification test from CSSC. Many other organizations also offer this certification for free, look into it before actually going with any random organization. Lastly Sandeep sir, congratulations on the new website. I am taking your Data Analytics using Excel Course on Udemy which is actually teaching me quite a lot. Also, the went through all the videos but the site is only showing that I completed 17% of the course perhaps you might want to look into that part of the website. And you need to change the speed every time you finish a video so if the speed selection carries on to the next videos that would help as well. Just thought I should let you know since your website is new. Once again, thank you for teaching these courses and offering them for free.
