Many find themselves overwhelmed and unable to achieve certification quickly due to the amount of material that needs to be learned, the time commitment required, and not having a clear plan or roadmap on what is needed to achieve certification.

Stress prevents one from achieving certification quickly. This is stress that results from the confusion in applying the Lean Six Sigma tools and techniques in the real world, leading a process improvement team, and dealing with the resistance to change.

The complexity of the tools and techniques can make it difficult for one to learn and apply the tools to a project and complete the certification process in a timely manner. Additionally, the complexity of the tools and techniques can make it difficult for organizations to effectively implement Lean Six Sigma.
Hello! My name is Maria Milo.
I've been teaching Lean Six Sigma for more than 20 years, and I'm the President of Variance Reduction International (VRI), a Lean Six Sigma consulting and training company. We've certified way over 1,000 students, and our training and mentoring have helped our clients save more than $4 billion in the last 20+ years.
I'm also a Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt, so I know the material inside and out. I'm excited to share my knowledge with you and help you become a Certified Lean Six Sigma Green Belt in as little as 90 days.
The Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Certification is one of the most sought-after certifications in the world. It's no wonder, given that Lean Six Sigma is responsible for billions of dollars in savings every year.
But don't let the fact that it's an important certification scare you – our accelerated program will make sure you're fully prepared for delivering value to your company in half the time that most other programs do.
During the program, you'll learn all the basics of Lean Six Sigma, from the DMAIC methodology to how to create process maps and control charts.
You'll also get plenty of practice with real-world exercises, so you'll be confident in your ability to apply Lean Six Sigma techniques when you're ready to lead process improvement and problem-solving projects on your own.
