Lean Six Sigma – Green Belt

The Lean Six Sigma – Green Belt program at Mohawk College introduces individuals to the foundational principles of Lean Six Sigma, a globally recognized methodology for process improvement used across industries like healthcare, finance, and IT. This certification focuses on developing leadership skills in continuous improvement and is ideal for those aiming to facilitate Kaizen events and lead process improvement projects. More advanced than the Yellow Belt, the Green Belt certification prepares participants for applying Lean Six Sigma principles to real-world business challenges.

Through practical application, students will explore the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) problem-solving methodology, and gain introductory statistical knowledge alongside training in Minitab and Excel for data-driven decision making. The program includes a capstone project, where participants will apply Green Belt theory to a real improvement initiative, with guidance from a certified Master Black Belt. This hands-on experience ensures that participants not only understand the theory but can also lead successful process improvements in their workplace. Lean Six Sigma Green Belt certification from Mohawk College is the perfect stepping stone for those seeking to advance their careers in process optimization and continuous improvement.
