Six Sigma Training Now Available Online

We just put a series of Six Sigma and Lean Six Sigma e-learning courses up on Vast Talent’s website. These courses were put together by Knowledge Platform, our partners from Singapore.

What I like about these e-learning courses is that they’re really interactive. While you can imagine that quality management, process control and Six Sigma makes for a rather dry learning experience, we’re getting a fresh look at these topics here. The courses are really well designed and have nice graphics and are very interactive.

You should use e-learning in the context of Six Sigma to free up classroom time. Giving students online courses helps to create a common foundation of knowledge so that other training can be more efficient and effective. Don’t consider these courses a replacement for your traditional training – consider them a complement.
The four new courses are:

- Introduction to Lean Methodology. This is a survey course of only 30 minutes which gives an overview of what Lean is all about. Good for general use across an entire company.

- Introduction to Lean Six Sigma. This course is made up of four modules plus an assessment and takes about two hours to complete. It’s a good introductory course for people who work in manufacturing environments or project managers who are going to be involved in Lean Six Sigma.

- Six Sigma Yellow Belt. The Yellow Belt is the first step on the road of Six Sigma, and this course’s five modules will take you about 3 hours to complete.

- Six Sigma Green Belt. As you can imagine, this is a more advanced course with six longer modules of 90 to 120 minutes each.
