During the classroom sessions, participants will learn about the six sigma work phases and the basic techniques to be applied in each phase. These techniques are required to perform the followings:

• compiling a problem map
• reason seeking and verification
• forming of a development proposal
• re-regulating processes
• and performing the related measurement, data management, statistical analysis tasks

Classroom sessions are structured as follows:

1. lecture part about methods and tasks to be performed
2. task accomplishment individually or in small groups (the latter case only if participants come from the same workplace)
3. introduction of the result product made individually or in small groups, followed by a discussion, evaluation and conclusion
4. the lecturer’s proposal for continuing the work
5. additional methods related to the task and examples of their application.

Project work:

During the training, each participant will apply the individual steps of the six sigma method to his / her own project topic selected on the first day of the program. The participants begin their work during the classroom session, carry on between the sessions and finish after the last session, which requires work in the workplace. The project to be developed focuses on the current quality improvement of the selected process by applying the learned methods in group work and with group leadership.

Methodological stages of the project:

• task formulation – Define
• perform measurements – Measure
• data management, analytical work – Analyse
• process improvement – Improve
• operational commissioning – Control

The methodological correctness of the project is ensured by the consultant help of the trainers, and the usefulness of the project is ensured by choosing the appropriate topic.

Aspects of topic selection:

• tasks, the solution of which is a declared customer demand
• part of the company’s development plan
• measurement data are available about the labour process
• the project topic can be defined so that it can be completed successfully within 2,5-3 months

 In order to facilitate the topic choice and to start the project as soon as possible, we ask the participants to bring at least 2 topic suggestions for the first day of training with them.

In order to make the work at the workplace effective, the 2-day classroom sessions follow each other with at least 2-3 weeks interval. We draw the attention of the participants’ employers to the fact, that ensuring the time needed to complete the tasks at the workplace has a significant impact on the efficiency or inefficiency of the training.

Components of the work at the workplace:

1. continuing, complementing and completing the classroom task involving, if necessary, co-workers, and documenting it in a form suitable for presentation,
2. preparatory work for the next classroom session (e.g. data collection, measurement, data analysis, experiment, etc.)

Exam

• Writing exam
• Presentation

What kind of document do I get at the end of the training?

Participants who complete the course get a Six Sigma Green Belt certificate in English. 

To be entitled to own the Six Sigma Green Belt degree two conditions must be met:

• successful written exam of the learned methods
• presentation of the 6 Sigma Project of the selected topic that have been done at an appropriate level and proven to be efficient

The Green Belt degree certifies that its holder is capable of carrying out a project with proven results on a topic proposed by him/her and approved by his/her principal, using the basic six sigma techniques.

Is it possible to require an international certificate?

Yes, it is. Six Sigma participants can require internationally accepted TÜV Certificates. It is optional, not compulsory. Price of the TÜV Certificate: 33.000 HUF+VAT.

What does the daily schedule of the training look like?

Lectures start at 9am and end at 5pm. We provide a few small breaks and a half-hour lunch break to the attendees.

How long is the training?

Our Six Sigma Green Belt training consists of 60 lessons, with an additional exam day + consultation. 1 day = 10 lessons, 1 lesson = 45 minutes.

Are there any other costs in addition to the course fee?

In addition to the training fee, no extra costs are charged. The price includes lecture material, exercises, consultations, coffee breaks, refreshments, as well as the exam fee and the cost of the Euzertifikat certificates.
