White Belt Certificate Program

Who Should Participate

White Belt training is an ideal primer for Six Sigma professionals. It works best for employees who are unfamiliar with Six Sigma and want to learn more about the methodology and how it can impact an organization. 

White Belt training can be great for the following candidates:

• Managers who may potentially want to apply Six Sigma methodology
• Leaders who see the importance of quality improvement
• Employees who work for an organization with a Six Sigma focus
• Anyone who wishes to learn the fundamentals of Six Sigma methodology and best practices

A White Belt certification can give employees a basic working knowledge of Six Sigma in a short amount of time. Professionals can usually complete the training and certification relatively quickly. The typical Six Sigma certification course requires a few hours of online training that involves watching videos and reading specific material, then passing an exam.

Program Overview

All belt rankings help Six Sigma projects improve quality, including the white belt because of the supporting role it plays. The White Belt is vital to the Six Sigma process for two main reasons. First, the support that they provide is incredibly valuable in itself. Competent white belts can lend extra pairs of hands and eyes to collect data and offer proficient insight into how processes are working.

Second, the White Belt level is where all future Six Sigma practitioners are recruited and initially educated. Introducing the organization’s promising employees to Six Sigma through White Belt training could be the beginning of a great relationship for the company and for the employee.

White belt employees who show an understanding and enthusiasm for Six Sigma can be trained as Yellow Belts or Green Belts and can then attain even higher belt rankings and greater expertise if they choose to do so.
