Students must register for week 1 and week 2 of this course at the same time.

Wrap up training for your upgrade from Green Belt to Black Belt certification, learning advanced levels of the Six Sigma roadmap and extensive statistical methodologies. Further explore creating stable processes with near zero defects and continue studying the techniques of process improvement projects and supporting Green Belt level projects.

Following the Six Sigma business methodology, you'll use problem solving and data analysis tools in a structured format. Learn ways to bring about incremental improvements and maintain a process within customer specifications that are in line with business goals.

Through lecture and classroom exercises, you'll work through example problems and complete assignments individually and in a group. After the two-week training period, you will submit a completed project for review by a Master Black Belt for certification.

NOTE: You must be Green Belt certified by Six Sigma.us or a program providing a similar level of training, and you must be able to provide proof of certification. Also, you must attend the first week of the Black Belt training before attending this one.

Certification Requirements:

You must attend all training and participate in all training exercises. If you miss more than one day of training, make up work must be completed before a training certificate or PDUs will be issued. Project should be submitted to Six Sigma.us within 6 months of the last day of training for certification. Projects should illustrate an understanding of the tools and concepts of the Black Belt level training.
