What are my options to complete the ASEM® EM Six Sigma Green Belt Certification?

There are multiple pathways to prepare for and to take the ASEM® SSGB exam. In all cases, students receive a one-year ASEM® student membership and electronic versions of the Engineering Management Body of Knowledge (EMBoK®), Engineering Management Handbook®, and preparation guides for the CAEM®/ CPEM® exam and the EM SSGB exam. A voucher for the exam is included in the price, but Minitab® is not. See the note below for details on Minitab® licenses and access.

Minitab® License Details

Minitab® software is accessible at most universities for degree seeking students and many corporations also have licenses available to employees.

30-day free trial: For certification students who have time to dedicate to learning the analytical applications in the course, this may be a good option. We suggest you complete the course videos, see the Minitab® examples (which are clearly illustrated with menu screens), review the Minitab® test prep guide, and then start your 30-day trial to verify your knowledge and take that portion of the test. https://www.minitab.com/en-us/products/minitab/free-trial/·
Academic Discount: If you are a full-time student and your university does not provide Minitab® for its students, you can access a 6 month ($32.99) or 12 month ($54.99) rental. https://www.minitab.com/en-us/academic

Six-month license: Through special arrangements with ASEM® and UAH, a six month license is available for $439. For students enrolling in the UAH online course, this can be purchased on registration. For individual preparation, contact asem-hq@asem.org for details.
