The Master Lean Six Sigma Festo Academy is consistent with the guidance given by ISO 13053-1, 13053-2 and ISO 18404. Quantitative methods in process improvement "Six Sigma" and the most demanding international standards.
The training course is among the most effective because of its focus on operational projects and teaching choices.
It also has significant space reserved for Lean, team management and transactional aspects.
The depth of methodological content and Green Belt tools is superior to corresponding Green Belt courses generally offered, so that the company (especially a medium size one) develops a good methodological and technical knowledge to build efficient and stable processes without having to upgrade to a Black Belt certification.
This is so as not to immediately force the company, particularly if it is small to mediumsized, to make a fixed investment on Black figures and yet give adequate operational training to the trained figures.
To achieve Six Sigma Certification at Festo Academy, the participant must:

• Attend at least 80% of the days in the program
• Pass the tests related to the chosen Belt with at least 80% positive results
• Complete individual project work for each Belt, including the proper application of the DMAIC model appropriate for the required certification, including economic evaluation of the benefits achieved by the company through the project itself.

The Master's program includes:

• Entrance test for defining the most suitable educational pathway
• Final test for validation of the training course
• Project work for field application of methodology and achievement of business savings
• Exercises and in-depth readings to be conducted remotely
• Final certificate

• Interactive teaching using simulations, exercises and role playing
• Hands-on exercises with Minitab™ to facilitate learning
