Qualifications (Belts)

• The most basic recognised Lean-6Sigma Qualification level
• Training traditionally lasts 1.5 days
• Accreditation may then be by:
  • An Exam or
  • Preferably by running a mentored “Just Do It”

• The level above Yellow Belt
• It normally requires 4-5 days’ training in either Lean or 6 Sigma, but preferably in both.
• Competency can be assessed either by:
  • An examination to test the learnings, or
  • Preferably by a mentored project which demonstrates competency in using the tools and delivering benefit.

• The level above Green Belt
• A Green Belt may upgrade to Black Belt with a week’s training in both Lean and 6 Sigma, followed by experiential learning.
• Accreditation is usually achieved either by:
  • A single mentored project to demonstrates competency in using the tools and deliver benefit, or
  • Preferably by a mentored programme up to 2 years of full time work where the candidate can gain much more depth and breadth in applying the knowledge.
