Which course fits your role?
Match the course to the work you do now, not to the title you want. The list below follows the roles each course page names.
- Quality managers, operations managers, process improvement professionals and project managers: the Certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt.
- Quality professionals, operations managers, process improvement specialists, team leaders and supervisors: the Certified Lean Six Sigma Green Belt.
- Operations professionals, quality practitioners, supply chain personnel and manufacturing teams: the Mastering Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt.
- Quality managers and engineers, operations and production managers, continuous improvement practitioners, and process and manufacturing engineers: Mastering Total Quality Management.
- Quality managers and officers, risk and compliance professionals, logistics and supply chain managers, and operations and warehouse managers: the Certificate in Quality Management and Risk Assessment, a CILT certificate.
- Operations professionals, quality practitioners, supply chain personnel and lean practitioners: Mastering Value Stream Mapping.
- Operations professionals, team leaders, supervisors and quality practitioners: the free, self paced Fundamentals of Operations Excellence.
The Black Belt does not suit someone who only wants a single tool for their own team. Take Kaizen or 5S for that.
Quality and compliance in Kuwait's industrial zones
