Lean Six Sigma Black Belt

Black Belt certification prepares professionals as Six Sigma leaders of project teams who apply the DMAIC methodology (and in some cases coach others Green Belts) with a focus on critically shaping projects, inclusively coordinating with leaders, successfully facilitating team meetings, and comprehensively implementing process improvements. 

This course is designed for individuals seeking to use a rigorous, systematic methodology known as DMAIC (define, measure, analyze, improve, and control), as well as several qualitative and quantitative tools. Its goal is to drive process, product, and service improvements for reducing variations and defects.

Due to the utilization of MiniTab, the Green Belt course requires participants to have access to a PC.

Please Note: This class may be cancelled if minimum enrollment number is not met.

We provide a verifiable and secure digital credential for this certificate completion, symbolized by a badge that is sharable with career networks. The digital badge serves to signal achievement to current and/or potential employers; to motivate engagement and collaboration; and to build upon and formalize identity, reputation, and value within educational and professional communities.
