Six Sigma Black Belt Training Course

Overview

This Six Sigma Black Belt training course will enable a delegate to understand, to an expert level, the necessary business improvement skills and tools required to manage Six Sigma implementation projects. The training course incorporates the Green Belt stage so no prior training is necessary.

Six Sigma is a set of business improvement tools and techniques used to reduce the likelihood of defects occurring. The system follows the DMAIC methodology of Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, and Control. At each stage, delegates are provided with a toolkit of process improvement techniques, such as Root Cause analysis, Poka Yoke mistake proofing, and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA).

This 20-day Six Sigma Black Belt training course follows the competency requirements set out in ISO 18404, the international standard for Lean and Six Sigma, and includes a project guided by a Six Sigma Master Black Belt. The course will cover the key tools and techniques of Six Sigma, as well as Six Sigma project management and leadership development, equipping delegates with the necessary skills and knowledge to lead process improvement projects.

Delegates that successfully complete this course will be classed as Six Sigma experts and will be awarded with a certificate to demonstrate this. Delegates will also be entitled to apply for certification to ISO 18404 through sector scheme RSS18404, please follow this link to find out more.
