Six Sigma Black Belt Certification for Qualified Green Belts
Six Sigma is a disciplined, data-driven methodology for reducing variation in any process. The Six Sigma methodology–driven by the DMAIC (define, measure, analyze, improve, control) process–is executed by Six Sigma green belts, Six Sigma black belts, and overseen by Six Sigma master black belts. The black belt course has two distinct parts: the in-class portion and a project. The Six Sigma Black Belt Certification for Qualified Green Belts* in-class portion consists of three full weeks of lectures, exercises and team-learning competitions. All of the statistical and quality tools needed to successfully complete a black belt project will be thoroughly presented so the student can return to his/her facility and readily apply them.

Simulation:
In addition to lecture material, this course utilizes various forms of hands-on simulations, exercises, and case studies to demonstrate Six Sigma concepts. The course also utilizes and demonstrates the use of Minitab software applications for statistical analysis.
Certification:
Six Sigma Black Belt Certification requires the successful completion of a project in a real-world environment. The project must be approved by the instructor, will be implemented over the course of the training, and should demonstrate the application of black belt-level Six Sigma tools.
Course Length:
3 weeks (1 week per month spread out over 3-4 months, Monday-Friday, starting at 9:00 a.m.)
Class Size:
6-20 Classes that do not meet the minimum attendee requirements may be canceled or rescheduled.
Cost:
$5,400 per person, plus:
Minitab Statistical Software required. If you do not own this software, a student version may be purchased for $189.00 through our offices by contacting Dr. Sampson Gholston (gholstsuahedu) .
