Over the last 6 weeks we covered all of the major sections across every major Six Sigma Green Belt certification. There were dozens of topics and 40 practice exam questions reviewed in detail. If you missed out, or want to review again, you can find the first day here.
Feedback
The interaction these last 6 weeks has been incredible! I learned a lot and I think many of the people on this list did, too.
Some of the things I learned I was able to take direct action on. Here’s a recap of some of the recent improvement to the site based on your feedback.
Feedback 1: Sooooo… many articles!
Yes. There are a lot of things you need to know for Six Sigma Green Belt and Black Belt certification. Hey – nothing worth having comes easy, right?
But with all of those topics came a lot of articles. People told me about having dozens of tabs open on their browsers at once.
Feedback 2: More examples and videos, please!
I hear you. You want more examples and you’d like more videos. The good news is that dozens of articles have been updated with detailed examples in clear, easy-to-follow language.
I’ve also embedded hundreds of videos across the site from the world’s best Six Sigma instructors (or at least the ones that publish on YouTube!)
If you have any topics you’d like to see more on, first be sure to use the search bar on the top of any page. Not finding what you want? Just leave me a comment on any page and I’ll add your request to my queue.
Feedback 3: More Question Walkthroughs.
This one is easy. The 40 questions that we walked through were a hit. But you want more. I understand. Practicing actual questions just like the ones you’ll see on the exam are the best way to prepare.
Not to worry, I have you covered. Let’s dive in.
Check out Pass Your Six Sigma Green Belt (PYSSGB).
If you’d like access to nearly 1000 practice questions, dozens of practice quizzes, multiple full mock exams filled with questions just like the ones you’ll see on exam day. To learn more, go here.
PYSSGB will be on sale for the next 2 weeks. After that the price goes back up.
If you got value out of the free 6 week refresher class we just held, imagine how helpful the actual membership will be.
Anyhow, I’ll send a few reminders out through out the course of the next 2 weeks.
Up Next
One last piece of feedback I received was around hearing how other people passed their exams. I can help there, too.
Be on the lookout the next few days for a few notes from other Six Sigma exam candidates, just like you, who were able to pass the exam.
What Six Weeks Actually Covered
For anyone finding this recap without having followed the live series, the six-week structure walked the full Green Belt curriculum phase by phase: Six Sigma organization and teams, then each DMAIC phase (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) in its own week, with a practice-question walkthrough built into every session. That phase-by-phase pacing (roughly a week per DMAIC phase) is a reasonable template to borrow even if you’re studying solo rather than along with a cohort: one phase at a time, with a batch of practice questions at the end of each phase before moving on, rather than trying to absorb the entire body of knowledge in one continuous pass.
The Pattern in the Feedback
All three pieces of feedback point at the same underlying tension: there’s a lot of material to cover, and people want it digestible without losing rigor. That’s a real constraint, not a solvable problem with a single trick, more content density and shorter study sessions genuinely pull against each other. The practical resolution is the same one covered elsewhere on this site: find your own weak-topic list from a baseline test, then go deep only on those topics rather than trying to consume everything with equal thoroughness.
The “Too Many Tabs” Problem Has a Fix
The first piece of feedback, dozens of browser tabs open at once, is worth addressing directly rather than just acknowledged. The fix isn’t fewer articles, the material genuinely requires that much depth, it’s a different workflow: pick one module or phase, open only the articles for that phase, work through them fully, and close everything before starting the next phase.
A closed-tabs study session is usually a more focused one, even if it feels less thorough in the moment.
Thanks for Six Weeks
Running a live cohort-style refresher is more work than publishing a static article, but the real-time feedback it generates is worth it, this recap exists because people actually told me what confused them, rather than me guessing. If you weren’t able to join live, the content from each week stays available, and the same study advice applies whether you work through it on the original schedule or your own.
Thank you to everyone who showed up, asked questions, and pushed this refresher to be better than it started.
See you in the next one.
Best, Ted.
P.S. If you missed any individual week, each one is still available to work through at your own pace, the material doesn’t expire just because the live cohort finished.
Treating the whole site as one giant reference to keep open simultaneously is what creates tab overload; treating it as a sequence of self-contained modules doesn’t.
