Reduced Six Sigma Green Belt Training Available

If you’re part of our Employer Services Network, or hold SME or Associate Membership, we’re pleased to share a special opportunity with one of our Industry Approved Providers, CQM Training & Consultancy - specialists in Lean Six Sigma and Continuous Improvement.

Due to a shift in delivery later this year, CQM has two Lean Six Sigma Green Belt cohort slots unexpectedly available between May and July. They’re offering these places to organisations within the NSAFD network at a reduced rate, on a first‑come, first‑served basis.

If you’d like to take up this opportunity, please contact Tom Reading at [email protected] or call 0114 281 3747 by Tuesday 31 March.

Why this may be worth considering

Lean Six Sigma Green Belt programmes help build structured problem‑solving capability within your organisation. Delegates learn a disciplined, data‑driven approach to tackling operational challenges and apply it directly to real improvement projects throughout the programme, delivering measurable benefits while developing long‑term capability.

What organisations have achieved

Recent Green Belt programmes delivered by CQM in the food and drink sector highlight the scale of impact possible:

• Carlsberg Britvic – Projects from the very first cohort delivered over £1m in annual savings, with potential to reach £4.1m through wider operational improvements.
• New England Seafood International – Participants delivered over £100k in cost savings through projects completed during the programme.

Beyond financial results, organisations consistently report stronger cross‑functional collaboration, improved problem‑solving skills, and a growing culture of continuous improvement.

What the opportunity includes

This opportunity is ideal for organisations looking to develop capability across a cohort of employees (typically 6–10 delegates) who will work on real improvement projects aligned to operational priorities.

Programmes typically run between May and July 2026 and include:

• Engagement sessions with delegates and line managers
• Practical, interactive Lean Six Sigma Green Belt training
• Expert coaching from experienced improvement practitioners
• Support selecting and delivering real improvement projects
• Programme governance and reporting, including a success pack and celebration event
• Globally recognised certification upon completion

If your organisation has been considering investing in structured improvement capability, this could be a timely and cost‑effective opportunity for you.
