Black Belt

Master advanced Lean, Six Sigma and Business Improvement tools and techniques.  Our 4-week advanced Black Belt training programme (including a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt component) equips delegates to lead or facilitate critical improvement projects that achieve rapid, effective and sustainable results.

The course requires Minitab  - a statistical computer software, which can be purchased from us at the preferential rate of £920 per copy. Delegates must also have full-time use of a laptop.

What are the benefits?

By the end of the programme, delegates will be able to:

• Understand in depth Six Sigma philosophy, methods, and process improvement
• Facilitate Six Sigma, Lean and business improvement approaches to key projects
• Apply process improvement tools in a variety of circumstances
• Drive complex problem resolution and solution development
• Achieve improvements quickly, demonstrate efficiencies and return on investment.
• Teach Lean and Six Sigma basics to others in the organisation
• Have increased competence in variability reduction and advanced statistical process control
• Use the programme as a foundation for career development.

Who should attend?

Black Belt candidates should use this programme as the foundation for their development.  A 2-week Black Belt Conversion programme is available to those who have completed PMI’s Mastering Process Improvement or Six Sigma Green Belt programmes.

Training is intense and requires evening study between teaching days. Candidates must be highly motivated to lead improvement work.  They should be literate, confident with complex numbers and able with guidance to use a statistical package.  

We provide foundation training on request for individuals with potential who have had limited exposure to statistics or improvement projects.

Accreditation

To become certified Black Belts, candidates must:
