Six Sigma Green Belt Blended Learning

Acuity’s Blended Learning training approach is unique in that it allows for flexibility while maintaining the integrity of the principles being taught.  Our model is based on utilizing expert Master Black Belts to facilitate training in a mixture of classroom, workshop, online, and one-on-one settings.  We believe that training should coincide with real time application of the Six Sigma tools and techniques being taught.  Therefore, we have developed what we feel is a best in class method of teaching the principles of Six Sigma as they are being applied by the organization’s resources so learning and application efficiency is increased. 

The Six Sigma Green Belt Blended Learning training course is developed to teach Six Sigma fundamentals and its application.  It is intended for part-time improvement team project leaders.  Participants are trained and tested on their understanding and ability to apply the tools and techniques of all elements of the Six Sigma methodology.  The course is divided into 2 main components: 4 classroom workshops (6 total classroom days) and online training facilitation (approximately 32 hours of online course work).  The overall program utilizes a combination of process improvement simulation, case studies, and application of tools to real project work to facilitate learning of principles and completion of project deliverables

Six Sigma Green Belt Blended Learning Program - Example Training Schedule

 Six Sigma Green Belt Blended Learning Program - Participant Training Kit Inclusions


Green Belt Course Materials: Includes printed books containing 1,000+ pages of Six Sigma tools and techniques, statistics, project management, change management, exercises, and a process improvement simulation (Simco International Products - Project Simulation Case Study) to facilitate learning of principles and completion of project deliverables.  Also included is the Six Sigma for Green Belts eBook (electronic copy).  The eBook contains all the same content as the printed course books, is fully searchable and indexed.  It contains over 100 links to assist the user in quickly navigating to key tools and concepts.

Simco International Products - Project Simulation:  The simulation is based on a hypothetical service/transactional company that faces many of the same problems companies are dealing with today.  The simulation is designed to illustrate the entire business improvement effort through every phase of the Six Sigma DMAIC methodology.  Individuals complete challenging exercises which build on previously learned tools and concepts taught in training.  When complete, practitioners have a significant perspective on what true business improvement means and a tangible “project story” that they can utilize throughout their process improvement efforts. There is no comparison of this simulation in the marketplace today.

Six Sigma Toolkit: this toolkit assists practitioners in keeping focused on their project work and not creating “templates”.  The Toolkit includes common templates used throughout the Six Sigma DMAIC phases.  The templates are developed in common formats (MS Word, MS Excel or MS PowerPoint).  Included Templates: Analyze Tollgate Presentation,  Communication Plan,  Control Tollgate Presentation, CTQ Chart, Dashboard Measurement Plan, Data Collection Plan, Define Tollgate Presentation, DMAIC Project Plan, 5 Why’s, FMEA, Force Field Diagram, Implementation Plan – Detailed, Implementation Plan – High Level, Improve Tollgate Presentation, Measure Tollgate Presentation, Pilot Plan, Process Monitoring Plan, Process Value Analysis, Project Charter, Project Storyboard, Quick Win Identification, Response Plan, Sigma Calculation, SIPOC,  Solutions Benefits & Implications, Solutions Prioritization Matrix, Solutions Selection Matrix, Stakeholder Identification, Stakeholder Management Plan, Stakeholder Map, Standardized Procedures, Team Meeting Agenda, Team Profile, VOC Research Plan, X/Y Matrix

Six Sigma Green Belt Standard Certification: Certification has two primary parts: 

Part 1 - Six Sigma Green Belt Certification Exam: The exam is intended to validate Green Belt Candidate proficiency with the Six Sigma tools and techniques.  The following highlights the Certification Exam. 

• The exam is administered online.  Examinees will need to have an active internet connection to complete the exam.
• The exam is made up of 98 multiple choice, true/false, and problem solving questions.  The highest possible score for the exam is 98 points.
• A passing grade of 80% or more is needed to become Green Belts Exam Certified.
• Examinees have a maximum of 4 hours to complete the exam. 

Part 2 - Simulated Project Certification:  Acuity leverages the world class Simco International Project for Simulated Project Certification.  At Acuity we recognize that not every individual has the opportunity to immediately complete an actual Six Sigma project while completing their training, this is why we recommend Simulated Project Certification.  We are the only Six Sigma Training and Certification organization to offer Simulated Project Certification with the robust Simco International Project. 
While completing training, individuals will be required to complete project deliverables, develop project tollgate presentations, and answer questions from Master Black Belts about their simulated project results.  Upon completion of the project, Green Belt Candidates will submit the required documentation for Simulated Project Certification.  The submitted project will be reviewed by our panel of Six Sigma Experts.  The project must meet Acuity’s Simulated Project Certification requirements and be completed during the training timeframe.  There is no guarantee of Simulated Project Certification. 


SigmaXL Statistical Analysis Software License: SigmaXL is a leading provider of user friendly Excel Add-ins for Statistical and Graphical analysis. It is powerful but easy to use software that will enable the participant to apply many of the statistical and data analysis techniques taught in the Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control phases.
