About the programme

Lean Six Sigma is a globally recognised approach to process improvement, waste reduction and operational excellence. The Green Belt equips professionals to lead improvement projects, increase efficiency and reduce variation, combining Lean thinking with data-driven Six Sigma tools. It sits between Yellow Belt (introductory) and Black Belt (expert).

Who it is for

• Engineers, analysts and continuous improvement practitioners

• Team leaders, supervisors and managers driving process improvement

• Individuals responsible for leading improvement projects

• Professionals developing data-driven problem-solving capability

• Organisations seeking to improve quality, efficiency and performance

Green Belt or CI Practitioner? Choose Green Belt for problems centred on variation, defects and quality, using tools like SPC and hypothesis testing. Choose the CI Practitioner Programme for flow, waste and Lean leadership, with LCS accreditation.
