Subsidies
There are several ways to finance a training programme with The Lean Six Sigma Company. In many cases, it is common for the employer to cover the costs, and arrangements can easily be made. Paying yourself? Instalment payments are possible — contact us to arrange this.
Participants may also benefit from additional support options, including educational leave in Baden-Württemberg and Hamburg and, in Austria, potential funding from the Public Employment Service (AMS) in the event of unemployment.
Return on investment (ROI)
Results and hard data are often the strongest justification for an investment — and this is no different for our Black Belt training.
After training thousands of participants, we consistently see that Black Belt projects deliver a return of 5 to 6 times the initial investment, often already achieved with the very first project.
Also available as in-company training
Interested in delivering a full training programme at your own location? Explore our In-Company pages. Every training we offer as an open-enrolment course is also available as a group training, tailored to your organisation and delivered by an experienced (Master) Black Belt or Lean Expert.
This is the most effective way to get started with Lean or Lean Six Sigma as a team.

1. Can I enrol for a course without any prior experience?
No. This programme is designed for participants who already have experience with Lean or Lean Six Sigma, such as Lean Practitioners or Green Belts.
However, it is also possible to follow the Lean Leader programme as an extended format that includes the full Lean Practitioner training. In that case, you will start with the fundamentals before progressing to the leadership aspects of the programme.
The Lean Leader training builds on your knowledge and focuses on developing your leadership capabilities, enabling you to guide improvement efforts, coach others, and align initiatives with organisational objectives. Throughout the training, you will work with practical scenarios, exercises, and application in your own work environment.
During your improvement project, you will receive guidance and coaching from an experienced Lean expert, helping you successfully lead, support, and sustain improvement within your team or department.
