White Belt training does not equip delegates to lead their own projects. However, it is suitable for team members of Green and Black Belt projects and to engage employees when an organisation is building a Continuous Improvement culture. No pre-requisites are required for our online Lean Six Sigma White Belt course. It provides a clear introduction for anyone new to Lean Six Sigma. On competition you are ready to progress to yellow, green or black belt training. Feel free to contact us first as we may be able to provide a discount depending on the course in question.

Participants will learn the following on Lean Six Sigma White Belt Training:

• Gain a basic understanding of the principles and fundamentals of Lean Six Sigma
• Understand some of the language and ‘jargon’ associated with Lean Six Sigma as it is demystified and brought to life
• Learn about the roles and responsibilities involved in a Lean Six Sigma programme
• Gain an awareness of the rest of the Lean Six Sigma toolkit

Once you have completed the training you will receive a certificate of completion.

The online white belt training programme is hosted on our state-of-the-art Learning Management System, “The Business Improvement Zone” (BIZ). Each delegate receives a unique logon.

The programme consists of a series of short video information modules with some exercises and case studies built in and a knowledge check at the end. The programme is sequenced, which means that each module must be completed before the next module is made available. Including the exercises and quiz, the duration of the programme is around 2 hours.

If you are managing a cohort group, we can provide feedback reports on delegates’ progress/completion status.

A printable set of materials can be downloaded.

Although White Belt training level certification is not available through the British Quality Foundation, the programme is accredited by the BQF Lean Six Sigma Academy and is aligned to Yellow and Green Belt Programmes. Catalyst certificates of completion are issued.

In-company classroom  

We can build bespoke programmes, focussing in on key ‘Everyday Excellence’ tools; programmes to create Awareness of the Continuous Improvement methodology adopted by your organisations, or programmes for global collaboration. For more than 4 delegates attending the same programme this is the most cost effective option.

The programme can be delivered on-site or virtually.

The sessions will be bespoke, lively and interactive delivering a memorable learning experience for the delegates.

We will discuss your objectives prior to the delivery, and help you to plan the most effective delivery and support to your team of delegates.

This course is typically delivered over 1 day, consecutively or spread out over half-days sessions. Whatever is most convenient to you!

There are opportunities for programme champions/sponsors from your organisation to kick off sessions and share key messages about the programme face to face, (or on video), and explain next steps.
