Lean Six Sigma Certification Exam Preparation Guide based on IASSC Black Belt Body of Knowledge

If you are planning to take a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt exam and researched internet and realized that Six Sigma certification training courses are too pricey and study materials are not within your budget either, then HERE is a Solution. I would like to share this free lean six sigma training guide which will help you prepare for the International Association for Six Sigma  (IASSC) Lean Six Sigma Certification Exam. The six sigma training guide below includes links covering IASSC version of Lean Six Sigma Body of Knowledge. Good Luck!
