GREEN BELT

The Path to becoming a Certified LEAN ALASKA Lean Six Sigma Green Belt WHAT IS VIRTUAL ON-DEMAND GREEN BELT? Virtual On-Demand is Lean Alaska’s option for a more flexible schedule, while still offering training that is understandable and effective in practicing Lean Six Sigma. Lean Alaska’s Virtual On-Demand is NOT self-paced in the meaning everything is done on your own without the guidance, support, and mentorship of an experienced instructor. The Virtual-Hybrid course offers a series of videos of Lean Alaska’s Head instructor (Phil Ranck) teaching all the material. It's the same format, material, and critical real life experience that you find in the LIVE-VIRTUAL class, now it's on video so you have access to it at your own convenience. Lean Alaska’s Virtual On-Demand Green Belt course encompasses specific milestones to accomplish in order to continue on through the virtual On-Demand course. In between these Milestones you will select a date to go through a live-workshop with the instructor to review those specific milestones, gain access to the next set of videos and ask questions. Self-Knowledge transfer is heavily relied on in order to successfully complete the Virtual On-Demand Course. This is a great way for Industry and Military personnel who have limited time to dedicate large blocks of hours in a day for training. Videos are broken down into short (20-40 minutes) easily digestible blocks. Watch as many times, start and stop if you need, nothing is lost! Once you feel you are ready to move on to the next tollgate or have questions, you have the opportunity to schedule your Live-Workshop when the time is right for you! The mentorship and project charter options are the same as the Live-Virtual Black Belt class! You have 1 year to complete the course! How the Virtual On-Demand course is Laid out: 8 Milestones -Orientation - Live-Workshop -Project Identification & Selection -Define -Measure -Analyze -Improve -Control -Final Review and Test The Virtual On-Demand course has a rolling start date, allowing students to enroll immediately! If you are a CA (Credentialing Assistance) student, you can select the first available date in Army Ignited to begin, giving you a faster way to start your path to becoming a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt. Industry personnel can also register and begin all in the same day! Need Flexibility, this course will provide that without losing the quality!
