Our Green Belt Membership adds some higher-level training to what you can get in our Yellow Belt Membership. It is intended for junior leaders and frontline team members who are more actively involved in continuous improvement projects.
This membership program is our base package. This is primarily a resource for people in Lean or Continuous Improvement focused organizations to find answers to questions that come up, with a bit of structured training sprinkled in. That means access to our reference guide, a few forms, our vlog-style videos, and some Lean Training System modules.
You will also find additional content that comes and goes from this membership. We offer temporary bonus content from time to time.
We recommend you take a close look at the curriculums of the courses listed below so you are certain of what you are getting before you buy.
