What is our Six Sigma Green Belt Plus Course?

Our SSGB+ course is designed to teach a suite of additional skills beyond our basic SSGB course.

Our basic and popular Six Sigma Green Belt course assumes no prior knowledge of Six Sigma and teaches the fundamentals in a compact, three day format.  Thousands of people from hundreds of companies have taken it because it is a cost-effective and efficient way to begin your journey as a Six Sigma trained problem solver.  Other institutions have a similar format course.

If you want more but are not ready to go to the length (15 days) and complexity of a Black Belt course, we now offer a course designed to supplement our basic SSGB course.   The SSGB+ course will teach you about many additional tools and techniques useful for quantitative problem solving. 

The combination of our SSGB and SSGB+ courses will also prepare you to sit for the ASQ SSGB exam.  Some people like to have an internationally known certification and the ASQ certification would provide that.

The course is currently only offered in a Remotely Coached format where you self-study at your own convenience but still have all the live expert coaching you need.  As with all of our courses, you can contract with us to have the course taught in-house.   People who would like this to be a live, public local course are invited to contact us.  If there are enough of you will do that.

Our basic SSGB course is a pre-requisite for this course.  If you have not taken our SSGB course and would like to start with this one, we will consider it after a short phone interview where you need to convince us that you understand all of the key concepts and tools taught in our basic course.
