Lean Orange Belt

Yes, you can start the Lean Orange Belt training right away, even if you have no prior knowledge of Lean. The Orange Belt training includes all the knowledge covered in the previous belts, making it possible to begin directly with the Orange Belt if you wish.

No, you do not have to take a traditional exam for the Lean Orange Belt training. In our online Lean training, it works as follows: After every key lesson, you will receive several test questions in the form of a quiz. These test questions together constitute your ‘exam’. Therefore, you will answer several of these test questions throughout the entire Orange Belt training.

You can take the test questions as often as you like. If you do not achieve a good score the first time, you can review the material from the relevant lesson and take the quiz again.

Yes, after completing the Lean Orange Belt training and successfully answering the quiz questions, you will receive an Orange Belt certificate from LSC, the Cardiff University Licensed Service.

This Lean certificate serves as official recognition of your skills and knowledge regarding Lean management principles. A Lean certificate is not only proof of your expertise and skills but also represents an investment in your professional future.

Additionally, the Orange Belt is the perfect stepping stone to a Lean Green or Black Belt training.

You will receive your Lean Orange Belt certificate by successfully completing all lessons and accompanying quizzes. At the end of the Lean Orange Belt training, you can download your certificate.

The Lean Green Belt follows the Lean Orange Belt. The Lean program structures the acquisition of knowledge and skills via a belt system, similar to the levels in martial arts. Here is the order of the belts with a description of what each phase entails:

• Lean White Belt – Provides an introduction to the basic principles of Lean management.
• Lean Yellow Belt – Builds upon the basic principles and introduces more advanced techniques.
• Lean Orange Belt – This training is the perfect stepping stone for professionals who want to advance to a Green or Black Belt.
• Lean Green Belt – In this training, you develop the knowledge and skills to independently lead improvement and change initiatives.
• Lean Black Belt – Upon completion, you will be able to independently initiate and lead improvement projects, and steer your organization toward perfect processes and continuous improvement.
• Lean Master Black Belt – The highest level, where you become an expert in Lean methodologies and principles at the management level.

The Lean Orange Belt is the third step; Each subsequent belt further deepens your knowledge and skills.
