Six Sigma Green Belt Certification Program
A Project-Based Approach
Nine Days of Training in Three Sessions
Green Belts are the backbone of an organization-wide Six Sigma implementation and valuable resources for any organization striving to improve quality and efficiency.
A Real Certification Program Based On Real Work
This program features:
- Nine days of DMAIC training over three months
- Real-world project work throughout the program
- A deep discount for team participation
- Project-based Green Belt certification
Six Sigma Black Belts are key players in launching a Six Sigma initiative but for every Black Belt, an organization needs 10 Six Sigma Green Belts. (Perhaps more in healthcare and service organizations where some Black-Belt-level tools are unnecessary.)
Green Belts are the backbone of a Six Sigma implementation. Their expertise allows them to serve as either high-performing members or leaders of Six Sigma project teams. In essence, they enable the savings promised by Six Sigma to be realized organization wide.
A Six Sigma Green Belt has the process analysis, improvement and project management skills to be a key resource on large Black Belt projects or to lead smaller scale improvement projects within their functional areas. These latter types of projects are central to our Green Belt program.
Green Belt Development: A Project-Based Approach
Six Sigma success is achieved through process improvement projects that yield higher quality, efficiency and customer satisfaction. For this reason, Orion Development and Pepperdine University have chosen a project-based approach to delivering and reinforcing your Six Sigma Green Belt skills. Rather than try to immerse candidates in four or five days of intense statistical training, our program requires candidates to work through a real improvement project while training and coaching are provided over a two-month period. This results in a deeper-level of learning and immediate payback for the organization.
Six Sigma Green Belts are valuable assets in organizations that are committed to quality and efficiency, even those that do not pursue full Six Sigma implementation.
