Here's what learners had to say about this course

Rob Shanfeld
Certified Acuity Institute Lean Six Sigma Green Belt

This course was fantastic! I had a few weeks free between consulting projects, and was glad to find this course as it allowed me to go at my own pace, so I could sprint through a lot of material on my schedule. Lots of information, lots of flexibility, and above all, the staff at Acuity were extremely responsive and helpful. They went above and beyond helping to clarify topics in the course and helping me log the hours as PDU’s through the Project Management Institute…Super kudos to Stephanie for top notch customer service!

Salman Yasin
Certified Acuity Institute Lean Six Sigma Green Belt

I had the pleasure to recently complete my Lean Six Sigma Green Belt (LSSGB) certification from Acuity Institute. The course material is developed in easy to understand concepts, and how they can be applied in the real world to achieve business and organizational benefits.

 

This course has helped me to further enhance my leadership skills, problem solving skills as well as analyzing and improving business processes. The course provides in depth understanding of the DMAIC (Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control) road map and has taught me how to collect and analyze performance data, identify inefficiencies and problems, pinpoint root causes, and institute new protocols to greatly improve processes. The course covers Lean and Six Sigma methodologies and helps to develop skills in leading a team through the process of change. The course has a practical and applied focus.

The team of Acuity Institute is greatly helpful in helping the learners to understand concepts and willing to help candidates to help them succeed, I would highly recommend the Institute and this course to anyone who is looking to do Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Certification.

Complete course…right balance of theory and practical part. It can be used immediately even if you are in the beginning of the course and you get your certification at the same time your project is done. It gives you a large time of one year to complete your course. I recommend this especially to those like me have constraints in their job’s time schedule but want to learn anyway.

Certified Acuity Institute Lean Six Sigma Green Belt

The Lean Six Sigma Green Belt course was really well done. It provided all of the necessary tools and instructions for me to understand and apply learned concepts into real world situations. The pace of course is good and does not consume a lot of time. Overall, this was a positive experience and has changed my way of analyzing a problem.

Toolkits

For many of Acuity’s courses, we have assembled a Toolkit, which contains a complete, user-friendly set of the templates included in the course. The toolkit assists practitioners in keeping focused on their project work and not creating “templates”. For ease of use, the templates can be downloaded directly to your computer and are yours to keep and utilize in future projects. The templates have been developed in common formats (MS Word, MS Excel or MS PowerPoint).

SigmaXL Statistical Software

Project leaders will find that data is an important part of Lean Six Sigma projects and statistical analysis software is an indispensable tool at the Black Belt level. Acuity Institute is one of the few Lean Six Sigma Training and Certification organizations who include both the licensed software and detailed instructions for using statistical analysis software in their Lean Six Sigma certification program.

Acuity Institute provides its Black Belts and Green Belts with a full version of SigmaXL statistical analysis software (a perpetual license, which means it is yours to keep), that is a $299 value on its own. SigmaXL is a leading provider of user-friendly Microsoft Excel Add-ins for statistical and graphical analysis. It is powerful but easy to use software that will enable students the ability to apply statistical and data analysis techniques taught in the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and Green Belt Programs.

If your organization currently uses Minitab statistical software, instructions for this software are also included for each exercise. If you require a Minitab license, please contact us to inquire about cost and details on obtaining a license for this software option.
