LEAN Black Belt

Almost everyone does. The White and Yellow Belts need no background at all; Green and Black Belts build on what comes before. Not sure where to start? Use our assessment — it recommends the right belt in a couple of minutes.

Yes. Our trainers have passed the exams they teach, and 2KO has been a Microsoft Partner since 1999. We are SETA-accredited and a member of the Council for Six Sigma Certification, so your certification is recognised well beyond South Africa.

LEAN is about reducing waste: setting the operation in order with 5S and visual management, and eliminating waste across material and information flows. DMAIC is about reducing variation: measuring, analysing and controlling a process so it performs predictably. Most teams benefit from both.

Certification is included with every course. Books are included in most courses and are yours to keep, and you get a full SigmaXL licence or a 30-day Minitab trial. Exams are quoted separately unless stated.

Under certain circumstances we can spread the fee over 3, 4 or 6 months. This is agreed in writing with 2KO, and a payment plan may carry a small reduction in benefits.

Pay two weeks before the course starts for a 15% discount, or within 30 days of completion for 10%. Beyond 60 days after completion, no discount applies.

Classroom courses run regularly in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Pretoria and Durban, with online and live-online options always available. A course needs a minimum of 7 confirmed delegates to run on a given date.
