What is the Lean Six Sigma Training – Green Belt (Virtual Classroom) course?

The Lean Six Sigma (Green Belt) Training Certification accredited by CEPAS, (a Bureau Veritas company) is a globally recognised qualification in accordance with the ISO 18404:2015 certification.

Being trained to the ISO 18404:2015 standard in Lean Six Sigma will show employers that you meet the highest standard in Lean Six Sigma. Candidates who hold Lean Six Sigma qualifications are highly sought-after by many organisations as they are specially trained to help businesses save costs, improve efficiency, reach business solutions as well as ensure greater customer satisfaction while implementing quality control processes.

Lean Six Sigma is made up of two approaches: Lean Management and Six Sigma. The Lean methodology focuses on maximising customer value and the reduction of wasted resources. Six Sigma on the other hand, is a method that demonstrates how a business can continue to reduce process and product variation through a defined project approach.   

Together, Lean Six Sigma has proven to be a successful methodology and is used by many organisations around the world. Not only does it help businesses reduce costs, it also helps them to achieve business retention, improve staff morale as well as increase customer satisfaction.

ISO 18404:2015 is the international standard for both Lean and Six Sigma which defines the management systems requirements for successfully managing and utilising the Lean and Six Sigma methodologies, as well as the necessary competencies for individuals and businesses implementing the two approaches in their projects.

This five-day training course has been designed to teach you the core skills and techniques that make up the Lean Six Sigma methodology to enable you to pass the Lean Six Sigma exam and confidently implement your new-found knowledge within your organisation’s projects.

Once you have completed this course, you will be able to:

•    List the basic tools and principles that underlie the Lean Six Sigma improvement model
