Common Questions

When can I begin the course?
With eLearning, you can start at any time after purchase, however we do close registration two weeks before the Wave Kick-Off Webinar. You do not have to wait for other students to get started.

Are there prerequisites to this course?
This course has no prerequisites.

Do I need to complete the eLearning to attend the "Study Halls" and Workshop?
Absolutely! This program requires candidates to stay on task. Before attending the Virtual Study Halls and Workshop, Green Belt candidates need to complete the defined eLearning lessons. Your coach will monitor your progress and you will be notified if you fall behind.

How long does Green Belt training take?
From the Kick-off to the last Virtual Instructor-Led Study Hall, the program is 28 weeks in length. Access is provided to the online content for 365 days.

Candidates have a total of 12 months from the date of enrollment to achieve certification.

Do I need a project to complete the training?
A real-world project will significantly enhance the learning experience because you can use it to directly practice the concepts and tools as you complete the course. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you work on your project as you are completing your training.

Do you offer pricing discounts for groups of trainees and deployments?
Of course! Many of our larger customers send groups of employees through the Blended Green Belt program. Please contact us directly to discuss your specific needs.
