BlackBelt

Black Belts gain a deeper knowledge of the analytics tool to optimize complex processes.

The Black Belt training is perfect for those who want to master Six Sigma techniques and strategies, lead top-quality projects, and mentor Green Belts. 6Sigma.us offers a “2+1 format” for in-person programs where the first two weeks are the Green Belt and the third week is focused on Black Belt concepts. This allows candidates with current Green Belt certifications to easily continue their journey without repeating training.

After successful completion of Black Belt with Six Sigma, one becomes eligible to carry out Six Sigma projects of their own. This sought-after certification is highly rewarded in the industry and holds a coveted place in the top organizations.

4.8/5 based on 385 reviews
  • The course was very easy to follow and understand in a logical manner. Navigating through slides is not very friendly, in the sense if one wants to review past content, etc.

  • The course was great and will be used for as long as I work in any job.

    Andrew Jones | 5

  • I can not complain one bit. The material was well put together and explained.

    Elgin Amboree | 5

  • Great course!

    Bailey Mills | 5

  • The content of the course is relevant and can be applied to my working environment. Learning different analysis techniques was interesting and will definitely benefit me in future projects at work.

    Heleen Olivier | 5

  • Loved the online flexibility.

    Kathleen Henley | 5

  • I have had previous courses in lean, but not six sigma. i learned a great deal from this course. I need to practice in Minitab to gain more understanding of the models and how to set up the data so that I can use them on projects/process improvement efforts at work.

    Kathleen Altier | 5

  • I like that the course was well structured and overall easy to follow. I had gotten my belt before with a different company, but that put too much emphasis on the Six Sigma tools without giving an adequate understanding of how the tools were used in the flow of the DMAIC process.
