Thomas West, MBB
I am passionate about helping organizations get better, by helping people be their best. My role as an ASQ Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt is to coach and mentor others to become creative problem-solvers and passionate change agents. This can only be achieved by giving others the tools, skills, and mindset they need to make and lead change.

White Belt Course Description

The White Belt certification provides a high-level overview of Lean Six Sigma. White Belt is the entry-level certificate in the belt series, with no prerequisite learning required. The main focus is to discuss the value that Lean Six Sigma can bring to an organization. Specifically, the culture Lean Six Sigma helps to create.

 

The White Belt certification is perfect for individuals looking to familiarize themselves with the terms and fundamental concepts of Lean Six Sigma.

 

The certification program consists of a 60-minute training program that includes lecture, video, and downloadable content. The learner will need to pass a 20-question certification exam following the training. Upon completing the exam, the learner will have immediate access to a digital certificate.
