Lean Six Sigma White Belt Training

The Lean Six Sigma White Belt serves as an introductory certification, offering a glimpse into a world of process improvement and operational excellence. While it may be considered a beginner's level, the value it brings to both individuals and organisations is significant

Lean Six Sigma White Belt is the quickest way to understand how improvement really works, without jargon, and without a big time commitment. If you’re new to Lean Six Sigma, this is the ideal starting point: you’ll learn the basics of waste, variation, and problem-solving, and you’ll be able to support improvement work confidently in your role.


Best for:

  • SMEs and teams who want a shared improvement language, new starters, frontline teams, supervisors, and anyone who needs a practical overview before moving into Yellow or Green Belt.


Understand the fundamentals of Lean, Six Sigma and the DMAIC mindset. Spot waste and inefficiency in day-to-day processes (and what to do about it). Support improvement projects by gathering data, sharing observations and following standard work. Build confidence so you can contribute to problem-solving discussions and workshops.


Want to turn learning into real results? Many clients choose White Belt as a foundation and then add a short, practical improvement programme. You can explore options on our Consultancy Packages page or book a free consultation to discuss what would work best for your team.
