Training Courses

Savvi courseware is a comprehensive and integrated set of online material that covers the full range of six sigma training, from the innovative Thinking for Six Sigma course to our Yellow Belt, Green Belt, Black Belt, DFSS, Champion and Executive courses.  Savvi also provides training in Lean and Project Management.

These courses are as complete and thorough as any in the industry and, delivered through the Savvi Learning Environment, achieve a high level of effectiveness and reach in any organizational environment.

Content pedigree and design

All courseware has been developed and refined by a team of industry experts with extensive lean and six sigma application experience - having worked closely with the highest-caliber six sigma companies, consultancies and individuals in the field, including the original architects of six sigma.

The Savvi instructional architecture ensures that content is learned with motivation, accommodates different learning styles, is demonstrated and simulated for better understanding and is focused on the successful application of a process improvement or six sigma work project.

Course content has been developed, refined and published in a learning environment that maximizes return on investment better than other online and traditional classroom options.

Since content is fully narrated, demonstrated, simulated, displayed, taught, accessed and learned through a global learning platform, every instance of every class is the same - within very narrow variation limits.

• All modules have an instructionally designed mix of methods, tools, simulations and exercises.
• Course ensures participation in online lectures, discussions and assignments.
• Course is facilitated by a professional instructor who provides one-on-one mentoring throughout the course.

Savvi courseware advantages

• Best of breed - Courseware is based on leading managerial and technical expertise without wavering from the proven six sigma success formula.
• Modular - Content is packaged in modular components for ease of delivery and learning. Because of this modularity, courses can be custom-configured to meet the specific needs of specific classes.
• Consistent - Exactly the same material is delivered regardless of where it is delivered or by whom. The result is consistency of knowledge transfer, commonality of culture, alignment of effort and confidence of corporate success.
• Freely Extensible - Courseware exists in an open environment, where anyone can write to a content set. Unlike many other e-learning platforms, Savvi courseware is freely open to edits, modifications, deletions and additions with no special assistance or cost required.
• Integrated - Courseware integrates and teaches the standard statistical analysis, process configuration and project management software tools necessary for leading and applying six sigma.
• Designed - Content follows Bloom's continuum from lower to higher levels of learning. Specifically, content focuses on knowledge application per defined behavioral objectives for each individual learning module.
• Applied - Driving toward six sigma results, course content is configured and delivered within the DMAIC framework, providing a direct pathway for students to complete their first application projects.
• Outcome Verification - Comprehension is verified through examinations; analysis and synthesis through participation in class work and group work; and application through demonstrated behavioral competency and audited project financials.
