Black Belt

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

Much of the programme’s statistical analysis requires Minitab software, for which we can provide licences at preferential rates. 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 approaches to key projects
• Apply process improvement tools in a variety of circumstances
• Drive complex problem resolution and solution development
• Achieve improvements quickly
• Teach Six Sigma basics to others in the organisation
• Use the programme as a foundation for career development
• Call on a network of contacts for support and advice

Who should attend?

Black Belt candidates in Six Sigma companies 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:
