Introduction to
Six Sigma Green Belt
Six Sigma methods have been successfully
deployed in many industries and organizations.
This challenging Introduction to Six Sigma
Green Belt course teaches critical skills
required for Six Sigma practitioners. This first
course in the Certificate program explains the
basic terms and proven Six Sigma problemsolving methods, team building tools, and
descriptive statistics that are the basis for the
statistical tools that contribute to the success
of improvement projects and to the overall
success of your organization. Topics covered
include Lean Principles, Failure Mode Effects
Analysis, Team Tools, Project Charters, and
Basic Statistical Tools. The instructor uses the

Intermediate Six Sigma Green Belt
To be successful, organizations must manage
by fact. As such, organizations depend on the
measurement and analysis of performance
to make key decisions that affect the
organization. This Intermediate Six Sigma
Green Belt course builds on the ideas and skills
learned in the Introduction to Six Sigma Green
Belt course that organizations use, specifically
their Six Sigma teams, to improve. In this
second course in the Certificate program,
participants will learn process analysis, data
collection and analysis, probability and valid
statistical conclusions, and hypothesis testing.
Many participants find this course to be the
most challenging of the Certificate courses.

program is the Advanced Six Sigma Greenbelt
course which teaches participants to improve
and control processes. Topics included in this
course include hypothesis testing, design of
experiments, and statistical process control.
Participants will have to apply the concepts
learned in the Introduction and Intermediate
Six Sigma Green Belt courses. The instructor
will share many handouts, spreadsheets, and
web links that have tools participants will use

Six Sigma Greenbelt Certificate
This is a three course certificate program. Six Sigma takes internal and external stakeholder needs into account, teaching participants how to set up projects that have clearly defined goals that can support sustainable business practices in many ways, from tracking the performance of an adjustment, to improving supply chain processes, to monitoring the quality of a product using more “green” materials. Well-planned projects create the data needed to compel leaders to extend triple bottom line considerations and to continually monitor those practices currently in place.
