This upgrade Green to Black Belt training is also open to participants who may have done the Green Belt training with a different provider and have successfully executed at least one DMAIC project. Since there could be differences in the content and scope of the Green Belt curriculum across providers, we will arrange an intake with one of our trainers prior to the training to check the level of proficiency. The reason we do this is to avoid any expectation mismatches and ensure quality of training.

Coaching at your workplace

To get the most out of the program, we strongly recommend coaching by one of our (Master) Black Belts. The more you apply, the more you will learn. We are convinced that the theory of Lean Six Sigma takes root only if it applied, so we offer the possibility of coaching to enable learning by doing. Based on our own experience, we recommend a minimum of 1.5 days coaching for each project, the costs are € 1980, – (excl. VAT) if you order this along with the training. The 12 hrs can be spread across the duration of the project – our recommendation is 2 hrs per DMAIC phase and 2 hrs for the project as a whole.

Marion 02-10-2023 - Beoordeling: 8/10
Het was echt een verdieping op de green belt. We waren helaas maar met 4, vandaar dat de opbouw van het lesprogramma niet goed uit de verf kwam. Je gaat vooral zelf aan de slag, waardoor je het al doende leert.
Gerard 02-10-2023 - Beoordeling: 10/10
Een waardevolle toevoeging op de Greenbelt. De BlackBelt geeft veel meer verdieping en geeft mij ook meer handvatten om het geleerde in de praktijk toe te passen.

Marlies is the best trainer you can imagine, I really enjoyed learning from her, hearing her stories, as well as here knowledge level and willingness to share. In the beginning off the course we had a different training, not nearly as good and torough as Marlies. Otherwise, I would have given a 10.
