Lean Green Belt English

What to expect from the Lean Green Belt English training?

During the Lean Green Belt English training, you will learn—under the guidance of our certified trainers—how to identify, analyze, and reduce inefficiencies in processes using Lean concepts.

Our Lean Green Belt English training combines a strong mix of theory and practice. Through numerous relatable exercises and case studies, you will immediately apply the theory in a practical setting. As part of the program, you will participate in a simulation game with other participants, working together on a (fictional) process.

You’ll also discover how Lean methods not only lead to impactful results but also create an enjoyable and engaging experience for employees across a wide variety of processes.

What is the level of a Lean Green Belt training?

A Lean Green Belt training typically targets an intermediate level of knowledge and skills in Lean. Generally, a Green Belt certification requires a solid understanding of Lean methodologies and the ability to effectively apply these methods in practice.

What can you do after completing the Lean Green Belt training?

After completing the Lean Green Belt training and certification, you will be qualified to apply Lean methodologies in project management, process improvement, and quality management within organizations.

Lean vs. Lean Six Sigma, what’s the difference and which is the best choice for me?

Lean focuses on eliminating waste to increase efficiency, while Lean Six Sigma aims to reduce both waste and variation in processes. If you’re looking for a more holistic approach to process improvement with a focus on quality enhancement, Lean Six Sigma might be the best choice. If your main goal is improving efficiency, Lean may be sufficient.

Green Belt vs. Black Belt, what’s the difference and which is the best choice for me?

As a Green Belt, you’ll spend about 20% of your time identifying problems, implementing solutions, and optimizing processes, leaving plenty of room for other tasks. A Black Belt, on the other hand, dedicates more time to Lean Six Sigma, working on more complex problems and leading multiple improvement projects. Green Belts focus on solving issues within a single department, similar to a project manager’s responsibilities. Black Belts have broader responsibilities and take on leadership roles.

Is there an option to take the training in another language?

We offer classroom-based training and self-study options in both Dutch and English.

Can I enroll without any prior knowledge?

Yes, that’s possible. There is no prior training required to take the Lean Green Belt course. The course starts with the basics and gradually delves deeper into the subject matter.
