Introduction
The Green Belt training is for any individual that wants to learn to solve any type of problem in your organization and thus boosting your career prospects.This course includes both Lean and Six Sigma. Lean is all about speed and improving cycle times. Six Sigma is all about reducing variation and defects. If you want to be able to problem solve both those challenges in your organization, the Green Belt training is for you! The topics are covered in such a practical manner that you can apply what you have learned in your organization immediately.
Delivering tangible results for the organization is the ultimate goal of any Lean Six Sigma initiative. This ensures that the program builds credibility, creates early momentum and buy-in throughout the organization. It is not uncommon that completed projects deliver 4-5x Return on Investment (ROI) from the Lean Six Sigma initiative in terms of cost savings, quality improvements and/or better customer experience.
Training variants
Attend one of our classroom training and brainstorm freely with your trainer and fellow students. 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 students, and are the ideal choice for those who enjoy hands-on learning.
Attend our training from anywhere in the world with our virtual classroom option. Online interaction is key, and we have designed our program to involve students in a fun way. 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
The ability to permanently solve problems is one of the most highly valued skills in any organization. This is exactly what our training will make you proficient at. During our training, you will be taught how to uncover the root cause behind a problem, and ensure improvement initiatives are always on target. This is one of the reasons why Lean Six Sigma practitioners are wanted; they solve issues and prevent fire-fighting; they create solutions that stick.
As a Green Belt, you must involve different layers of an organization. After all, improvements are still a change, and change must never be a surprise; this creates resistance. Instead, by knowing how to involve key parties and applying change management techniques, you create support for these changes. Turning reluctance into enthusiasm is an important aspect to any Lean Six Sigma project.
Green Belts are expected to possess a broad range of knowledge and tools. Therefore, choosing the right training is vitally important. A training must ensure that practical experience is part of the certification, in order to help students bridge the gap between ‘knowing’ and ‘doing’. This is why our complete Green Belt programme includes a project and takes 3 to 4 months. Because only through repeatedly applying knowledge over several months can students become truly skilled.In the next section, we highlight what specifics the training will offer. This intensive setup has one goal: to make you into a skilled Lean Six Sigma expert. With each phase, your knowledge and grasp of the tools will grow, until eventually, you understand how to achieve your goals as a fully-fledged Green Belt.
Getting certified
Successfully completing one of our trainings is awarded with an internationally recognized certificate. But what exactly determines the worth of a certificate? We explain why a certificate from The Lean Six Sigma Company is of a higher standard than others on the value of your certificate page.
FiNancial details
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. For the project you will receive coaching and project review from an experienced Lean Six Sigma expert.
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.
Delivering tangible results for the organization is the ultimate goal of any Lean Six Sigma initiative. This ensures that the program builds credibility, creates early momentum and buy-in throughout the organization. It is not uncommon that completed projects deliver 4-5x Return on Investment (ROI) from the Lean Six Sigma initiative in terms of cost savings, quality improvements and/or better customer experience.
If you are looking to train an entire team, then our Onsite training might
be of interest to you and often more economically viable. Any of our
trainings can be delivered Onsite. There’s no easier way to get started with

FAQ
Every training we provide assumes our students start the training 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 training, 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 training, you will be coached and assisted by one of the (Master) Black Belts of The Lean Six Sigma Company to help you get started.
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. Another difference is that Black Belt at times use advance statistics to solve problems.
Lean Six Sigma is a methodology that one can start using during any career phase and this training 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 training you choose.
Any individual with a desire for process and product quality improvement from any industry sector.
The Green Belt training 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 students aren’t familiar with anything related to statistics. We realize the idea of working with statistics can sound somewhat intimidating, but our trainers have helped thousands of students 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.
We are one of the few providers that issue a certification according to international ISO standards. There are many competitors that offer Lean Six Sigma training but only a few provide a high-quality standard in training curriculum.
