IntroductiON

An in-depth Green Belt course

As a Green Belt, you know what makes an improvement stick. Regardless of the challenge you face, you will know what to do. As a Green Belt, you are also able to lead project groups or join initiatives with other Lean Six Sigma practitioners, for example during organisation-wide projects. As your work often affects employees throughout the department, change management is also a skill you will become familiar with during the course. This wide range of knowledge and competencies is what makes our Green Belt certificate, as well as its holders, highly valued.

Lean Six Sigma for your department

To help you achieve incredible results for an organisation as soon as possible, carrying out a full Lean Six Sigma project is part of your course. This way, you learn to apply your theoretical knowledge in real life situations. During the course, participants learn how to select projects with the highest financial return and lowest effort involved, so that every new initiative adds maximum value. Once your project starts, you can receive personal coaching from your Master Black Belt with experience in your field thus helping you take the first steps towards becoming a Lean Six Sigma practitioner.

Your way of studying

Classroom

Attend one of our classroom course and brainstorm freely with your trainer and fellow participants. Discuss potential solutions, apply tools and learn from each other’s previous experiences. Our classroom sessions are the best way to connect and network with fellow participants, and are the ideal choice for those who enjoy hands-on learning.

Enrol

Online seminar

Attend our course from anywhere in the world with our online seminar course. Online interaction is key, and we have designed our programme to involve participants to maximize participant interaction. For example through a live Value Stream Mapping session where you dive into a process and rebuild it from the ground up. Or a team exercise which shows why ‘Standard Work’ actually works. Hands-on experience from the comfort of your couch; highly convenient, but just as educational.

Curriculum

About our Green Belt course

The ability to permanently solve problems is one of the most highly valued skills in any organisation. This is exactly what our Lean Six Sigma Green Belt course will make you proficient at. During our course, you will be taught how to uncover the root cause behind a problem, and ensure improvement initiatives are always on target. This is why Lean Six Sigma practitioners are in great demand; they solve issues through substantiated research and prevent fire-fighting; they create solutions that stick.

Our course is designed to enable you to put your newly acquired knowledge and skills into practice. For this reason, the course focuses on the practical application of Lean Six Sigma rather than only going through the theory of all tools.

Green Belt course

Consequently, our Green Belt course consists of 2 parts. The first part is the theoretical training which can be provided both in a classroom and online. This part ends with an green belt exam on the last day of your training. Successfully passing the exam leads to certification which evidences the completion of the theoretical training. The second part of the course is a project you conduct in your work environment.

In many cases, delegates appreciate coaching during their project. As an option, we can provide project coaching during the project. Naturally, delegates can also opt for coaching provided by an internal Continuous Improvement professional.

Our experience is that when delegates have little expertise in improvement projects, coaching can be very conducive to a successful project.

The path to becoming certified as a Green Belt according to the ISO 18404 standards requires you to complete both a theory training and an in-field Lean Six Sigma project. The theory training takes place over the course of multiple days and is supported by a full digital suite of preparation materials.

If circumstances do not allow for a project during the same timeframe as the theory training, it is possible to start with theory only and to move on to your project at a later point in time.

Return-on-investment estimate

Results and cold, hard facts are often the best way to justify a purchase. Our courses are no different, and deliver said results without fail. After having trained thousands of participants in the Lean Six Sigma methodology, our findings are as follows: on average Green Belt projects generate extra revenue and/or save costs of £30,000 to £50,000. And with each project taking approximately 3-4 months, it is even possible to carry out multiple projects a year.

In-Company

If it is a course for a team you are looking for, then our In-Company options will be of interest. Our instructors can provide every course we offer as an Open Enrolment course on an In-Company basis. There is no easier way to get started with Lean or Lean Six Sigma as a team than with our In-Company courses.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

1. Can I enrol and join a course without any prior experience or knowledge of Lean Six Sigma?

Every course we provide assumes our participants start the course without any understanding of the Lean Six Sigma methodology. It starts with the fundamentals and explains every topic that is mentioned without assuming prior experience. During the course, you will carry out simulations and exercises to help you develop your knowledge. If you choose to carry out a project as part of your course, you will be coached and assisted by one of the (Master) Black Belts of The Lean Six Sigma Company to help you get started.

2. Should I go for a Green Belt or Black Belt course?

This depends on your goals and what you intend to achieve. If you would prefer to employ Lean Six Sigma on a part-time basis, for example alongside other work, the Green Belt course would be the best choice. If it’s your aim to work with Continuous Improvement and Lean Six Sigma on a full-time basis, then the Black Belt course would be the right pick.

3. Is a Lean Six Sigma course relevant to my career phase?

Lean Six Sigma is a methodology that one can start using during any career phase and this course is the ideal starting point. Even as a beginner, your work can add tremendous value. Lean Six Sigma can serve as an addition to your current work, replacing a part of your existing responsibilities. Or it can become a new full-time career, depending on the course you choose.

 

4. Green Belt vs Black Belt

The main difference is the scope of your projects. Green Belt projects are usually aimed at solving issues that affect a single department stakeholders. Black Belt projects tend to tackle long-standing, complex issues that cross departmental lines and affect different stakeholders. The responsibilities of a Green Belt align with those of a project manager. Black Belts carry more responsibilities and take a more active, leading role where they direct other Green Belts during projects.

5. How does the Services course differ from the Manufacturing course?

The Services course is most fitting for those employed in transactional careers such as general administration, logistics, finance, etc. The Industrial course is most fitting for those involved with mass production, machinery, factories and automation). Of course, those who complete the Manufacturing course can still carry out projects in the aforementioned transactional fields.

6. I find statistics a daunting topic, is a Lean Six Sigma course still for me?

The Green Belt course has very little statistics content, as opposed to our Black Belt course. Yet even the Black Belt courses have designed to start at the very basics, on the assumption that our participants aren’t familiar with anything related to statistics. We realise the idea of working with statistics can sound somewhat intimidating, but our trainers have helped thousands of participants understand (and find their interest in) statistics. Additionally, we offer complementary courses and several videos on our MyTraining™ platform that will help you prepare for, or repeat, specific exercises.

7. Do you offer any evening- or weekend courses?

The Lean Six Sigma Company strives to organize its courses during normal working hours.

This is a conscious choice in order to avoid interfering with the private lives of our participants and to get them used to the idea of working with Lean Six Sigma during typical working hours, and continue this habit once they complete the course.

However, some local exceptions apply. Please reach out to to the helpdesk in your region if you have any questions

8. Do you offer courses in other languages?

More information about our worldwide presence can be found on our international worldmap page, here you will find in which countries we are currently active and offer courses.
