Green Belt Domain Objectives
The Cii’s Green Belt Certification course seamlessly integrates traditional Six Sigma, Project Management, and the Toyota Lean improvement methodologies, keeping it focused on value-added instruction. Its content is driven by the current needs of organizations and industries. Additionally, the course can be tailored to focus on local/regional manufacturing, service, transactional and/or technology business processes.
Traditional Green Belt certifications are knowledge-based rather than experience-based. The Cii certification includes the requirement to complete a project along with the exam providing individuals who can make organizational improvements.
