Training programmes offered are rigorous and require total commitment to ensure success.
Significant culture changes can be involved and successful programmes require tenacity and dedication to the pursuit of
perfection. Tutors are drawn from experienced
Lean and Six Sigma trainers and consultants selected from some of the leading organisations in the UK. Materials
have been developed in cooperation with leading providers.
Academy training programmes offer numerous case studies and examples drawn from service, business
process, and manufacturing applications. Because courses are designed with a heavy practice orientation, as much
as half of the trainee's time is spent working through interactive practice exercises and online assessments.

Open Market Training - Lean Six Sigma
The Open Market Six Sigma training programme has been carefully designed to meet the needs
of European based organisations building training experience working inside organisations across Europe.
The modular nature of the programme has been designed to provide maximum flexibility and a variety
of options to meet different individual and organisational requirements.
How does it work?
This modular programme can take you to either Green Belt (Foundation or Advanced), or Black Belt level. There are 4 levels which can be achieved:
- Foundation Green Belt
- Foundation Green Belt Plus Effective Change Management
- Advanced Green Belt
- Black Belt (DMAIC) or (DFSS)
We run the programmes in Waves. You may choose whichever dates suit, as they do not have to be in the same wave as long as Foundation Green Belt and the statistics modules are taken sequentially. Change Management may be taken at any time and is also available as a standalone course.
- Foundation Green Belt (4 days)
- Effective Change Management (3 days)
- Statistical Tools 1 (3 days)
- Statistical Tools 2 (3 days)
- Advanced Black Belt Tools (3 days)
- Design for Six Sigma (4 days)
Six Sigma practitioners - Refreshing your Skills
We also offer Six Sigma practitioners courses to refresh and upgrade your skills. A popular option is upgrading from Green Belt to Black Belt.
- Upgrade from Green Belt to Black Belt (12 days)
- Change Management (3 days)
- Statistical Tools 1 & 2 (6 days)
- Advanced Black Belt Tools (3 days)
- Upgrade from Advanced Green Belt to Black Belt (6 days)
