Six Sigma Green Belt exam



Changes are possible. The course content is updated regularly.

Professional experience in the production or service sector and basic knowledge of quality management are required.
The design thinking approach can be used to develop innovative solutions for complex problems. The design thinking approach is clearly structured, iterative and leaves plenty of room for new perspectives. The course conveys the meaning, process and principles of the method.

You will also be familiar with the specific tools and methods of Six Sigma in order to implement projects independently and successfully.

People with a degree in engineering, technicians, foremen and specialists from the production and service sectors and people from the areas of quality management, administration and sales who want to carry out and manage improvement projects using the Six Sigma method.

Design thinking was initially an innovative method for product development, but it has now spread to the entire corporate culture and is therefore in demand across all industries.

Six Sigma is an internationally standardized and recognized method of quality management and a management tool for process improvement. By obtaining the Green Belt, you demonstrate your mastery of the methodology in your profession. As a Six Sigma project manager, you will be in demand across all industries in medium-sized and large companies, thus enhancing your career profile in the long term.

Didactic concept

Your lecturers are highly qualified both professionally and didactically and will teach you from the first to the last day (no self-study system).

You will learn in effective small groups. The courses usually consist of 6 to 25 participants. The general lessons are supplemented by numerous practical exercises in all course modules. The practice phase is an important part of the course, as it is during this time that you process what you have just learned and gain confidence and routine in its application. The final section of the course involves a project, a case study or a final exam.

 

Virtual classroom alfaview®

Lessons take place using modern alfaview® video technology - either from the comfort of your own home or at our premises at Bildungszentrum. The entire course can see each other face-to-face via alfaview®, communicate with each other in lip-sync voice quality and work on joint projects. Of course, you can also see and talk to your connected trainers live at any time and you will be taught by your lecturers in real time for the entire duration of the course. The lessons are not e-learning, but real live face-to-face lessons via video technology.

 

The courses at alfatraining are funded by Agentur für Arbeit and are certified in accordance with the AZAV approval regulation. When submitting a Bildungsgutscheinor Aktivierungs- und Vermittlungsgutschein, the entire course costs are usually covered by your funding body.
