Introducing Advanced Green Belt
Substantial process improvements can frequently be brought about using the structured approach and the basic Lean Six Sigma problem solving tools (as covered on Level Green Belt training). However, sometimes you need more powerful tools. This may be after the low hanging fruit opportunities in your business have been addressed but some people will need these skills from the outset.

Advanced Green Belt upgrade from Green Belt consists of 2 modules:
- Process Measurement and Control (equivalent to 3 days)
- Data Analysis Techniques (equivalent to 3 days)
The data and analysis centric modules are based on Minitab statistical software which is used throughout. Minitab data files are provided. As well as building proficiency in the use of Minitab, this intensive course provides a solid grounding in these essential techniques:
• Process sampling
• Assessing measurement system performance
• Using Statistical Process Control Charts (SPC) to display and interpret the data
• Process Capability Analysis (Cp/CpK)
• Graphical Data Analysis
• Hypothesis Testing
• Simple and Multiple Regression Analysis
• Introduction to Logistic Regression and Design of Experiments
• The background statistical knowledge to correctly apply, interpret and communicate the above

Advanced Green Belt, rather than standard Green Belt, is usually necessary for practising engineers, scientists, business analysts who have roles which typically require the significant use of measurement and data analysis. It’s also taken by Green Belts who now need to start using data more extensively. Advanced Green Belt is also an interim stepping-stone on the way to Black Belt.

- Understand the right way and the right amount to sample a process
- Use Statistical Process Control (SPC) Charts to interpret and control processes
- Assess process capability (Cp/CpK)
- Use the appropriate metrics for reporting and improvement
- Analyse process data using a variety of hypothesis and regression tests
- Make decisions with data – correctly!
Although you do not need a project to complete the course we encourage you to put the tools into use on a project or in your day-to-day role as soon as possible. For BQF Green Belt certification you need to complete a project.
Prerequisites
If you’re interested in upgrading from Green Belt to Advanced Green Belt then a prerequisite is Green Belt! This training may have been completed through another provider in which case we’d ask you to get in touch to make sure it’s compatible – it usually is and we can close the gaps through reading or e-learning if needs be.
What are the outcomes of the Advanced Green Belt?
Outcomes for your business:
The Lean Six Sigma Advanced Green Belt powerful tools will enable your improvement projects to take performance to the next level and promote the development of data-based decision making in your organisation.
Outcomes for your personal development:
The ability to use data with confidence to understand and analyse processes and influence your colleagues. You will receive an Advanced Green Belt e-certificate which you can add to your LinkedIn profile. The Green Belt programme is worth 80 CPD Points and the upgrade from Green Belt to Advanced Green Belt is worth an additional 80 CPD Points. You can progress from here to Black Belt level by completing 2 remaining modules – Managing Change and Advanced Black Belt Tools.
What are the Follow-on Options for Advanced Green Belt
You can upgrade from Advanced Green Belt to Lean Six Sigma Black Belt with two or three additional modules, Lean Six Sigma for Innovation and Design (Design for Six Sigma) is recommended but currently optional for BQF Black Belt certification:
