1.2.4 Six Sigma Green Belt Training 

Why this training is important 

Developing a culture of continuous improvement using Six Sigma methods requires technical expertise throughout the organization. Green Belts should be selected and developed at all levels and from all areas of the organization. They form the core of Black Belt project teams initially and with experience begin to lead projects. 

Many organizations require all managers to become Green Belts to reinforce the strategy and importance of using a rigorous problem solving process and tools.
