What is a Lean Six Sigma Apprenticeship?

Our Lean Six Sigma Apprenticeships, part of our Continuous Improvement Apprenticeship programmes, blend Lean Manufacturing principles with Six Sigma techniques to provide a structured approach to business improvement. Participants learn to:

• Eliminate Waste: Identify and remove inefficiencies in processes.
• Reduce Defects: Use data-driven methods to minimise variability and errors.
• Increase Efficiency: Streamline operations to enhance productivity.
• Improve Quality: Achieve consistent and higher-quality outputs that benefit both the business and its customers.

Through these Apprenticeships, participants gain the skills to lead continuous improvement projects and drive operational excellence within their organisation. Whether you’re in manufacturing, healthcare, retail, or any other sector, Lean Six Sigma is highly regarded for its versatility and effectiveness.

Who Benefits from Continuous Improvement Apprenticeships?

• Employers: Upskilling your team with Continuous Improvement Apprenticeships is an investment in your business’s future. By training employees in Lean Six Sigma, you’ll gain in-house expertise that can lead to measurable improvements in efficiency, productivity, and profitability.
• Employees: Completing a Continuous Improvement Apprenticeship not only enhances your skillset but makes you a key player in driving operational success. The hands-on experience and recognised qualifications make you more valuable to your current and future employers.

The Journey of a Continuous Improvement Apprentice

Our apprenticeships take a holistic approach to learning, starting with foundational knowledge and progressing through practical, hands-on applications:

• Yellow Belt Training: Apprentices start by learning the basics of Lean Six Sigma and how to support larger improvement projects. They gain the language and tools needed to begin making an impact in the workplace.
• Green Belt Training: As apprentices advance, they develop the expertise needed to lead and implement more complex improvement projects, addressing persistent challenges in the organisation and contributing to significant change.

Throughout the Apprenticeship programme, Apprentices receive dedicated support from our team of specialist tutors ensuring a comprehensive educational experience over the 12 months of on-programme learning leading up to the End-Point Assessment. This includes monthly virtual classroom lessons, workshops, and tailored 1-2-1 online support. Apprentices also receive training directly in the workplace, benefit from shadowing seasoned professionals, and participate in mentoring programmes. Additional support in English and Mathematics is available to fully prepare apprentices for their assessment.
