Become a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt

Why you should enrol in our Lean Six Sigma Green Belt (Practitioner level) Masterclass

How about the potential to earn between $88,000 to $114,600 annually? Way higher than a project manager or business analyst.

For all companies, streamlining their processes is a solid strategy to help improve efficiency, quality, and performance. Lean Six Sigma methodologies provide a rigorous and structured approach to help manage and improve quality and performance and to solve potentially complex problems.

Lean Six Sigma is about getting fundamental principles and concepts into the DNA and lifeblood of your organization so that it becomes a natural part of how you do things.

If you want to change outcomes, you must realize that outcomes are the result of systems – these are the way people work together and interact – if you want to change outcomes, you must change your systems, and to do that, you must change your thinking.

Six Sigma certification is a powerful way to improve your skills as a leader in your organization while transforming your business processes.

What is Lean Six Sigma Green Belt?

The Lean methodology emphasizes maximum efficiency in all operations and identifies unnecessary steps that consume time and resources, while Six Sigma focuses on eliminating variations within processes.

With a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt (LSSGB) certification, you’ll acquire the skills you need to improve processes within an organization – which is why more and more businesses are recognizing the value of this skill.

Our Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Masterclass teaches you everything you need to prepare and successfully pass the exams to receive a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt certification, including the DMAIC methodology and other core Six Sigma principles.

The DMAIC method (Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, and Control) is used to improve existing processes, products, or services.

The skill of a Green Belt enables them to solve complicated problems quickly while also removing the root cause to prevent the problem from happening again.

How Lean Six Sigma Green Belt can benefit your career

Lean Six Sigma is a great leadership tool. It provides valuable analytic and process skills which apply to high-level management positions – providing a powerful way to improve your skills as a leader in your organization while transforming your business processes.
