Learning Objectives
As with all of our training, the objective of this course is to develop a comprehensive set of skills that will let you function effectively as a change agent in your company. You will learn the Lean Six Sigma White Belt body of knowledge, practice techniques for both quantitative and non-quantitative analysis, and gain the skills necessary to become a practitioner of the Lean Six Sigma methodology and toolset to prepare you to lead Lean Six Sigma projects within your organization.
Course Structure (Self-Paced Learning)
This is a self-paced course, consisting of 2 recorded sessions. In each module there is a description of the course content for that lesson. Although the sessions can be viewed in any order, we believe that you will learn most efficiently by following the sequence in the order shown. In particular, the first session presents an overview of Lean Six Sigma, which will be helpful to put the remaining sessions in the proper context. At the end of each session, there is an associated 5-question quiz to test your knowledge and gauge your understanding of that topic.
Many of the recorded sessions will contain places to “pause” the recording to complete a practice exercise or to reflect on the material. Each session also includes supplemental reading assignments along with additional practice and review questions which will help support your learning. You are strongly encouraged to complete these.
Best practices for online learning:
- Create a distraction-free study space. Use headphones to help reduce surrounding noise and make it easier to hear without distracting others.
- Hold yourself accountable. You will need to manage your time in order to complete the sessions in a timely manner. You will get out of this what you put in!
- Schedule time to work on the course.
- Don’t try to do too much at one sitting. Break up the learning into manageable chunks.
- Stay organized. Keep the downloadable presentation files and data files in one location on your computer.
- Take notes! Use a notebook, app, or whatever method works best for you.
- Actively participate. Pause the sessions to complete practice exercises, jot down notes or ideas, or simply reflect on a topic. Complete the practice and review questions, along with suggested readings for each topic.
- Reach out to your coach, or Air Academy Associates, if you have questions or need help.
