It is not required. To take our training and certifications, it is not necessary to previously take any previous belt training; That is, it is not necessary to have prior knowledge of Lean Six Sigma. Green Belt training starts from 0 (zero) and includes all the content of Yellow Belt training and White Belt training. Same for Yellow Belt training, it starts from 0 (zero) and includes all White Belt content. Likewise, Black Belt training starts from 0 (zero) and includes the content and evaluation of the previous belts: Green, Yellow and White.

The level of training depends on several factors, such as the amount of time willing to invest, level of education and mainly your academic and professional goals.

PROFESSIONAL GOALS AND ACADEMIC LEVEL:

White Belt:

Usually aimed at 100% of an organization's employees, in order to make known the generalities of LSS and support in laying the foundations of the Operational Excellence program. On a personal level, these 4 hours of training will give you an introduction to Lean Six Sigma, its most basic tools and general knowledge of the DMAIC methodology. It does not require any knowledge or experience in arithmetic, spreadsheets (e.g. Microsoft Excel), statistics, processes, or project management.

Yellow Belt:

Usually aimed at those responsible and key participants in the business processes (bosses, supervisors, coordinators, operators, etc.) and also at 100% of the members of the Lean Six Sigma project teams to support the development of project activities.
