Thornley Group trainers use their practical experience in process improvement to deliver training programs and simulation exercises that take candidates through the entire process of applying the tools and techniques they learn.
The Green Belt Upgrade course covers the difference between the Yellow Belt and the Green Belt certifications. Candidates must have completed the IASSC Yellow Belt training prior to attending this course. The 3-day upgrade is a detailed course that teaches advanced Green Belt topics for each of the DMAIC phases.
After completing the course, candidates can sit an IASSC Green Belt exam. Once the exam is passed, attendees will receive a Green Belt certificate. For professional credibility, candidates should participate in a project that delivers cost savings, defect reduction or has some other major customer impact. Thornley Group proves email support for 6 months after the completion of the course to help candidates achieve their project goals.
- Candidates must be Yellow Belt trained prior to attending. Attendees who have been trained by other organisations can attend and sit the exam, but we cannot guarantee that outside training is adequate to prepare you for the IASSC Green Belt exam.
- Candidates must have basic numeracy skills. (See our separate maths qualifier test on our resources page).
- Candidates ideally have the ability to work on a project that will improve their credibility with prospective employers. The project should focus on delivering cost savings, defect reduction or other customer impacts. Thornley Group provides a simulation case study where this is not possible.
