 Why Choose Lean Six Sigma Green Belt + Black Belt Combo Certification?

Accelerated Career Path

• Completing both certifications together positions you to move faster from mid-level to senior leadership roles, without the delay of doing them separately.
• Employers see combo-certified professionals as “end-to-end leaders” who can both manage tactical improvements (Green Belt) and drive enterprise-level transformation (Black Belt).

Higher Earning Potential

• Green Belts average $78K–$118K per year, while Black Belts command $125K–$138K
• By earning both together, you skip the intermediate step and qualify directly for roles paying above $125K in the U.S. and CAD 120K+ in Canada.

Faster ROI for Professionals & Employers

• A Lean Six Sigma project in Canada saves CAD 243,838 on average, delivering 4:1 to 10:1 ROI
• Certified combo professionals can lead both mid-sized and enterprise-wide projects, producing measurable bottom-line savings that single-belt holders may not always deliver.

Future-Proof Skillset

• Green Belt alone is often seen as “entry-level improvement.” Black Belt alone can feel too advanced for some roles. Together, the combo certification equips you with a complete skillset:
• Green Belt: Data analysis, process improvement, tactical leadership.
• Black Belt: Strategic project leadership, enterprise change, advanced statistical tools.
• This makes you more versatile across industries like healthcare, manufacturing, IT, and financial services.

Time & Cost Savings

• Taking the Combo program means you pay once, learn continuously, and certify for both levels, instead of paying for two separate courses.
• Many training providers charge separately; our Combo path saves you 30–40% in costs and condenses months of additional study into one streamlined program.

Competitive Advantage in the Job Market

• According to Glassdoor and LinkedIn Jobs, postings for Black Belt roles receive up to 3x fewer qualified applicants compared to project management roles. Having both a Green and Black Belt on your resume sets you apart in a competitive hiring market.
• RFPs and government projects increasingly require Black Belt leadership with Green Belt project teams-this combo makes you qualified to lead both sides.

What You’ll Learn in the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt + Black Belt Combo Training

Lead DMAIC projects from start to finish

• Gain the ability to confidently take projects through every stage of the DMAIC methodology—from project chartering and data collection to analysis, improvement, and long-term control. You’ll learn how to scope projects correctly, set measurable goals, and deliver sustainable results.

Apply Lean tools to eliminate waste and accelerate processes

• Master the use of Lean management principles, such as value stream mapping, Kaizen, and 5S, to identify bottlenecks, streamline operations, and create faster, more efficient workflows across various industries, including healthcare, manufacturing, IT, and finance.

Use advanced statistical thinking to uncover root causes

• Learn how to analyze data with Six Sigma tools such as hypothesis testing, regression, and design of experiments (DOE). These skills enable you to pinpoint the true root causes of quality and performance issues, rather than relying on assumptions.

Translate insights into executive-level business cases

• Bridge the gap between data and decision-making by converting project findings into compelling business cases with ROI calculations. This skill positions you as a trusted advisor to leadership, demonstrating not only how improvements work but also why they matter for growth, profitability, and compliance.

Coach teams and lead organizational change effectively

• Develop the leadership skills to coach Green Belt teams, manage resistance, and drive cultural adoption of Lean Six Sigma practices. As a Black Belt leader, you’ll be prepared to mentor others and embed continuous improvement into the organization’s DNA.
