Lean Six Sigma Black Belt

The Lean Six Sigma Black Belt course constitutes training in more advanced tools and techniques, with a strong emphasis on project work and in-class application that will set you apart in your organization. As trained leaders, Black Belts play a critical role in any organization.
Lean Six Sigma Black Belts are skilled in problem solving and are well-versed in quality improvement methods that are critical in error reduction and product quality improvement. The Lean Six Sigma Black Belt training addresses the important “change management” considerations and incorporates the required “soft skills” as key modules in the course curriculum. This four week program facilitates real time application and project execution to help organizations operate with optimal efficiency.
The Lean Six Sigma Black Belt classroom course is conducted over a four (4) months period with classes being held one (1) week per month for a total of 160 hours of in-class instruction and mentorship. Individuals who have previously completed Lean Six Sigma Green Belt certification are required to complete a minimum of 104 hours of in-class training in order to satisfy the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt training requirements.
We create an active learning environment through a combination of lectures, team exercises, class project, project reviews, hands-on simulation and assignments.
