Knowledge and understanding are critical to the overall Lean transformation process. To support this transformation, key individuals must possess the knowledge and expertise to lead Lean Value Stream Transformations. By earning a valuable credential to enrich their contribution within their organization, individuals gain credibility with not only senior leaders, but also with their peers and subordinates.

Developed in partnership with medical professionals, the Ministry of Health, Lean Advisors, and Automated Learning Corporation, the Online Green Belt Certification is a virtual/remote version of the Lean Advisors On-Site Green Belt Program.

Using our interactive, e-learning courses combined with remote one-on-one Coaching from a Senior Consultant, an Online Green Belt Certification will provide individuals with both the knowledge and the demonstrated capabilities to assume greater responsibility to lead Lean business process improvement initiatives and promote effective cultural change.
