About this course
About this course
Green Belt is the recognised project-level qualification in Lean Six Sigma, covering the methodology at the depth expected of professionals leading structured improvement projects under a Black Belt mentor or sponsor. This live virtual classroom programme teaches the Green Belt body of knowledge with practical application to real operational improvement challenges.
Who should attend
The course is aimed at technical managers, quality managers, operations managers, continuous improvement specialists and team leaders taking on project-level improvement responsibility. It is equally suitable for staff who have completed a Yellow Belt qualification and are ready to lead projects, and for experienced practitioners who need a formal Green Belt qualification to match their current role. Delegates running their own improvement projects under mentoring from senior Belts find the programme directly applicable.
What the programme covers
Content covers the full DMAIC framework at project-leader depth, including advanced process mapping, value stream analysis, statistical process control, basic hypothesis testing, measurement system analysis, design of experiments foundation concepts, failure mode and effects analysis, solution selection frameworks and control plan design. The programme also addresses the soft skills of project leadership including stakeholder management, team facilitation, progress reporting to sponsors and the handling of resistance to change.
Assessment and certification
Delegates complete a written examination and a practical improvement project assignment. A pass earns the recognised Green Belt qualification, suitable evidence of project-level Lean Six Sigma competence for senior technical and operational role specifications.
Course format and delivery
The programme runs as a live virtual classroom across multiple sessions, giving delegates time to develop the project assignment between teaching days. Delivery combines methodology teaching with case study discussion, structured peer review of project drafts and practical exercises in DMAIC tool application.
Why this matters
Green Belt qualification signals genuine project leadership capability in operational improvement, and supports progression into continuous improvement, technical and operations management roles where delivery of improvement programmes is a core expectation. Delegates who complete the qualification lead projects more confidently, produce better benefit realisation from improvement work and build a foundation for progression to Black Belt and Master Black Belt levels. The programme pairs naturally with the Yellow Belt qualification for delegates needing to consolidate foundations and with the wider eLearning catalogue for flexible continuing development. For technical professionals in food manufacturing, the BRCGS Food Safety Issue 9 Sites Training provides useful certification context alongside.
