SSA & Company’s Six Sigma Silver Belt Certification offering is a 10-day, highly refined and innovative program that steps beyond traditional Green Belt training. In our approach, participants are taught Lean and Six Sigma tools and techniques while executing a real process improvement project at their home companies. Similar to traditional Green Belts, Silver Belts provide the real force behind an organization’s process improvement and culture change efforts by integrating Lean Six Sigma methodologies into everyday work.

Unlike conventional Green Belt offerings, where participants have a tendency to leave behind what they learned in the classroom, SSA & Company’s Silver Belt Certification program ensures that business process improvement becomes fully ingrained. It encourages participants to integrate Lean and Six Sigma tools into their daily work, and thus empowers them to deliver quantifiable business results for their organization while they are learning. To achieve this, our Silver Belt Certification offering includes 16 hours of individual remote and on-site project mentoring and coaching from our expert trainers. This hands-on, personal support ensures that participants deliver quantifiable, bottom-line results to their organizations.

Silver Belt Certification is designed for professionals at any level of the organization who are responsible for delivering process excellence and continuous improvement in their day-to-day activities.
