Certifications

Each course builds upon the content of the previous certification. Yellow Belt is our foundational course, with Green Belt building off of those concepts, followed by Black Belt going another layer deeper.

The Master Black Belt Certification is reserved for those looking to become a process improvement executive, and/or aiming to develop and scale a robust process improvement department or program within an organization.

Educational Courses (Non-Certification Courses)

These courses are often tailored to a particular type of professional and are intended to offer a foundational understanding of Lean Six Sigma and Cohesive Value TransformationTM principles that will be meaningful in their role, but do not go into the level of detail required for formal certification.

Yes, we generally honor lower level certifications (e.g. Yellow Belt) from other organizations depending on the program. As students seeks Green Belt Certifications or higher, it becomes more difficult to do given our healthcare-specific content and exclusive use of our Cohesive Value TransformationTM model.

Please reach out to us here to discuss specifics.  We often can arrange for a tailored approach and access to additional content if the individual needs a refresher of Yellow Belt topics, or acclimation to our CVTTM model curriculum prior to working through our Green or Black Belt courses.
