Six Sigma Black Belt Training Course

Who Would Benefit

This top-tier programme is ideal for those professionals who are already experienced in applying the Six Sigma Methodology as the lead on complex projects as a full-time Project Manager leading teams that include both yellow and green belt practitioners. The Lean Black Belt Six Sigma training course will guide you through all aspects of Lean Six Sigma methodology to an advanced level of competence.

Course Description

At the end of Lean & Six Sigma Black Belt training you will have a far greater knowledge of how the 2 methodologies can improve & enhance the business. The training will involve 10 days of classroom training and practical work.

 

This is then followed by 2 on the job projects, which involves using all the tools correctly and making a cost saving or increase in productivity that would enhance the company profit by a minimum of £100,000 each project. Alternatively, you can complete one project to the value of £100,000 within 6 months and prove a history of 3 years in a role of quality management and should have worked in process improvement projects.

 

During the project stage the trainer will meet with each delegate once per month. During these sessions they will check they are on track with their project (in terms of using the right tools, passing each stage and making savings), ideally this is a face to face session. We can mix some remote sessions with face to face sessions if need be. The at the end of the project(s) they need to meet again to validate that they have used the correct “tools”, made the right savings and be certified as Six Sigma Black Belts.

 

Please Note: To take the black belt training, you must already be a green belt.
