The Lean Six Sigma Green Belt certification is a structured mentoring process with the aim of refining and further developing skills of the Green Belt trainees during the facilitation of a real improvement project.

During the life of the project, certification candidates receive formal guidance and coaching from a Black Belt or Master Black Belt. The certification process includes six coaching sessions for each participant. At the end of the project, the candidates formally present their learnings in a presentation and project portfolio, which is assessed and marked, before receiving the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Improvement Project Manager Certificate.

This course is self-driven and provides the participant the formal recognition to devise, lead and execute a medium-level Improvement Project in their current workplace. This constitutes the final seventy per cent of Green Belt certification.
