Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Course (English)

Lean Six Sigma Green Belt course (English)

For organisations to succeed in our rapidly changing world, continuous adaptation and improvement of work processes is very important. For decades, Lean Six Sigma has been the most successful methodology of improvement. It solves deeply rooted causes of problems, makes work processes more efficient, and involves employees towards a culture of continuous improvement.

We offer our training on location

During this 6-day training you learn all about Lean management and Six Sigma. We teach you how to apply the practical tools and what you can do to realise a culture of ‘continuous improvement’. After the training you will be able to manage a Lean Six Sigma improvement project from start to finish.

We train in groups up to 12 participants. They come from all regions and branches. This often leads to valuable discussions and knowledge sharing. It is nice to see that participants are often still in contact with each other after the training.

Online learning environment ‘My Bureau Tromp’

One week before the start of the training you will get access to your personal ‘My Bureau Tromp’ online learning environment. Here you will find an overview of your courses and certificates obtained. You will also find the training material, e-learnings, exercises and templates here.

What’s in this training?

First you will get to know the backgrounds of Lean Management and Six Sigma and learn how these two methodologies reinforce each other. From here we will teach you all the important instruments from the Lean Six Sigma toolbox, the interrelationships between them and the DMAIC project structure. You can expect a lively training in which we practice with the tools. Learning by doing is the best way.

In this training we use a diversity of Lean games, videos, discussions and practical simulations. This way we bring theory into practice so you can apply what you’ve learnt in your own work environment.

As it is very important that improvements are accepted by management and employees, we devote considerable attention to change management. Think about topics such as project selection, stakeholder management, and how to deal with resistance. We teach you some soft skills that will help you to get your projects on a good start.

Finally, we’ll consider the future of work processes. Lean Six Sigma plays an important role in the current digitization / robotization trend. Therefore, let’s discuss how this impacts the way we do our work.

The training is practical and interactive. Our consultant/trainer tells from his or her own experience. Moreover, we regularly ask participants about their practical examples and provoke discussions. This makes the theory a “real” story.

Under the ‘Register’ tab you will find the starting dates and all other dates of the training courses.

For in between training blocks we give you a number of manageable assignments. Think of reading articles, going through e-learnings, and implementing Lean instruments in practice. This way you can already get a taste of how it’s like in practice. It is not a problem if you do get to it. However, please realise that ‘doing is the best way of learning’. When back in the training we discuss everyone’s experiences, which often lead to great stories.

Our trainers and the CSSC certification

The Lean Six Sigma Green Belt courses are given by our experienced Lean Six Sigma Black Belt consultants. With many practical examples, they explain the theory of Lean and Six Sigma. You’ll learn how to put the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt theory into practice through simulations and exercises.

At the end of the training, there will be an examination. When completed successfully, you will immediately receive the official Lean Six Sigma Green Belt certificate from “The Counsel for Six Sigma Certification” (CSSC). In the unlikely event that you do not pass the examination, we will schedule a retake free of charge.

Bureau Tromp is a Lean Six Sigma training organization accredited by “The Counsel for Six Sigma Certification” (CSSC). This accreditation guarantees our high-quality training. Moreover, your certificate is recognized worldwide.

Coaching (optional)

After the training, you will start working on your first improvement project. As with everything you do for the first time, the beginning is difficult. Our (Master) Black Belt consultants (often the trainer) are happy to help you with this. This way, you learn how to put theory into practice quickly and pleasantly and reach good results at the same time.

Our consultant is your sparring partner. You share project documents and data with each other. The contact is via email, telephone and personal appointment. They will monitor your development and test your skills. At the end of your improvement project you will receive the highly rewarded ‘CSSC practical certificate’.

You determine the intensity of guidance yourself. We are of course happy to help you with this. So please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

• 6 hours of coaching (€900): This is the minimum number of hours of coaching for your practical certification. If you have project management experience and a Black Belt within your company to guide you, then 6 hours of coaching is enough for you.

You carry out your improvement project independently and where necessary your coach is available for questions and tips. To conclude your project, you will give a presentation that your coach will assess with an independent trainer.
• 12 hours of coaching (€ 1,800): here too, practice shows that this is the most suitable for your Black Belt project.
