Does the certification contribute to other qualifications?

Jaguar Land Rover has linked with the University of Bradford to offer academic assessment and the opportunity to earn 20 credits (CATS) towards an MSc in Engineering and Process Excellence.

The 5-day Green Belt training forms the basis of the Technical Accreditation Scheme. Once a project has been completed, a technical report of approximately 25 pages must be written, critiquing the methodology as applied within the project. If you’d like more information about TAS and the MSc, please get in touch.

Are there other courses I can do to support my training?

We offer programmes in a broad range of areas. Team Working, Team Leadership and Lean are great complementary courses at Green Belt level.

I’m interested in going higher than Green Belt - what are the options?

Black Belt training is the next level and we offer open and in-house programmes. Design for Six Sigma is also a great option to consider especially if you’re involved with Product or Process Design. Call us to discuss where you’d like to get to.

    • Capella’s focus on developing long-term relationships and their continual search for innovative approaches to upskilling has enabled Toyota and many other employers to learn and apply best practice Problem Solving tools which deliver great outcomes for all. In our experience, no other training provider has taken such a lead role in the development of sector wide initiatives such as the Automotive Industrial Partnership and development of the ‘improvement suite’ of Apprenticeship standards. Capella constantly seeks innovative opportunities to deliver an excellent service to the learner and to the business.

    • We have found Capella really professional and flexible and their passion for delivering high quality training is a culture we have in common between us and has made working with them highly beneficial. Their knowledge of the automotive sector in particular has also been very useful and has simplified working together to create a really excellent training programme. In addition, they have managed to modify their usual commercial programmes in line with government approved apprenticeship standards, which has enabled us to utilise our Apprenticeship Levy to fund the training.

    • Capella are delivering the Business Improvement L4 programme to a cohort of 12 staff at our Barnard Castle site. We chose Capella after a series of meeting with Kate and her team and from day 1 we have been impressed with the professionalism, enthusiasm and knowledge of the team. The staff have really thrived on the learning schedule and through working with the programme tutors and we have had nothing but positive feedback. Internal changes on site have impacted on the programme delivery, which Capella took this in their stride, adapting delivery timelines, providing support and working with those facing change has added another dimension to the relationship that has been developed between the site and Capella. While still in delivery mode GSK already believes that the programme has been a success for all involved and we look forward to its completion and sharing that success within the organisation.
