Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Training - Signature Series

Comprehensive training and exam preparation to achieve the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Certification with the International Association of Six Sigma Certification (IASSC) – the most highly regarded independent, global Green Belt Certification.

This course is very comprehensive and doesn't require any pre-requisite training. You will learn the foundation skills and develop up to the Green Belt level as part of this intensive, 5-day course. However, this training does move quickly and covers a lot of in-depth information in great detail. In addition to the scheduled course time (40 hours) you will need to set aside 18 hours for self-directed learning to ensure you stay up to date with absorbing and understanding the concepts discussed in the course. Total course duration is up to 58 hours.

For participants focused on Certification preparation, it is important to know that the IASSC Global Certification is exam based. Which means you can sit the exam and become certified as soon as you have successfully passed the exam, which is based on global benchmarks.

Our Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Training courses are run by Lean Six Sigma experts. Attend a course today throughout Australia including, Brisbane, Sydney,, Melbourne, Canberra, Adelaide and Perth.
