Lean Six Sigma & Agile Certification Requirements

What Certification Means at RPM-Academy

At RPM-Academy, an accredited partner of Cambridge, UK headquartered International Lean Six Sigma Institute (ILSSI), certification represents more than completing coursework — it confirms your ability to apply what you’ve learned in real working environments. Certification is role-based, evidence-driven, and aligned with industry expectations for professional capability.

​

Whether you’re pursuing Lean Six Sigma or Agile certification, this page outlines the requirements you must meet before earning your credential.

Core Requirements for All RPM Certifications

While specific requirements vary by certification, all RPM certifications share these foundational expectations. You must:

  • Have access to professional work context where you can demonstrate applied skills

  • Provide evidence of real-world experience, where required

  • Complete the associated RPM-Academy training or equivalent approved learning

  • Successfully write the RPM-Academy online certification exam

  • Submit required project deliverables or documentation as outlined in each certification pathway

 

These criteria ensure that RPM certifications reflect practical competence, not just test scores.

Lean Six Sigma Certification Requirements

Lean Six Sigma certifications are awarded based on your demonstrated ability to lead real improvement projects and apply DMAIC principles with measurable impact. To qualify, you must:

  • Complete the required RPM Lean Six Sigma coursework

  • Successfully write an online certification exam

  • Submit a completed Lean Six Sigma project with supporting documentation

​

This approach ensures that your certification reflects both your analytical skills and your ability to achieve results.

Agile Certification Requirements

Agile certifications at RPM-Academy are role-based and recognize applied practice in real Agile environments. Certification is awarded to professionals who can demonstrate effective performance in their Agile role. To qualify, you must:

  • Complete the Agile Project Management certificate or equivalent approved coursework

  • Successfully write an online certification exam

  • Provide evidence of applied Agile experience relevant to your intended certification pathway (e.g., Scrum Master, Product Owner, Agile PM Professional — team artifacts, descriptions of participation, outcomes achieved, etc.)

​

This ensures that your Agile certification reflects not just knowledge, but real-world capability.
