Many new advancements have been made in QFD over the last few years with the publication of ISO 16355. If it has been more than 18 months since you attended the QFD Green Belt® training, we strongly recommend this half-day, semi-private refresher.

Created in response to students' request to help keep the momentum going, this is a continuing education exclusively for those who have graduated from our QFD Green Belt® training in the past.

Attendees of this refresher will receive the latest version of the QFD Green Belt® training manual and templates, plus ISO 16355 series bibliographic reference papers (e‐Book). Your provisional Green Belt® status will be extended for another eighteen months, making you eligible to enroll in the upcoming QFD Black Belt® training.

You can bring your QFD samples for critique and coaching, or send your questions in advance.
