This RSS 18404 Six Sigma Development Programme for Black Belts has been designed to help those who wish to become individually certified according to the requirements of the Royal Statistical Society (RSS), as well as giving a practical opportunity to apply Black Belt competencies learned during our 10-day Six Sigma Black Belt course.
Certification by the RSS goes beyond training. The RSS requires evidence of your actual experience within projects through assessment of your portfolio, as well as an interview and a test.
Our RSS 18404 Black Belt Development Programme teaches you about advanced approaches, tools and techniques, and then gives you support in submitting your application for assessment and certification. We run a mock RSS assessment, and provide you with individual coaching on the real application of the approaches within an organisation.
Certification by the Royal Statistical Society (RSS) allows you to be added to the RSS register, where organisations will often search for Six Sigma professionals.
However, certification is not essential and does require you to keep a portfolio of your projects, attend an Assessment Centre, be interviewed and take a test. Many of our delegates find that learning Black Belt skills without certification on our 10-day Black Belt course gives them the capabilities they need to participate in improvement projects effectively and progress their careers.
This course wraps up all our Six Sigma training – from Yellow Belt through Green Belt to Black Belt, as well as provides support for achieving individual certification, in one 13-day package. The course can therefore be undertaken by those with no prior knowledge.
If you do not want to attend all your training at once, or do not want to apply for certification, we have a comprehensive choice of Six Sigma training options to enable you to train at the speed and level that suits you.
