Certificate in Six Sigma, Black Belt
Program
Six Sigma is a quality management methodology that uses data and statistical analysis to eliminate defects and improve effectiveness and efficiency. Six Sigma relies on both Green Belts and Black Belts who each have a role in the successful completion of a project. The Six Sigma Black Belt Certificate builds on the foundation of our Green Belt Certificate, which is a prerequisite for this program.
The Six Sigma Black Belt Certificate is an opportunity to learn how to implement Six Sigma methodology throughout the organization. This is a highly marketable skill that is in demand in many industries. Black Belts are at the core of every Six Sigma project. They are the leaders who have an advanced understanding of the methodology and analytical tools used in Six Sigma.
Building on the critical foundation of the Six Sigma Green Belt Certificate, you will take your knowledge to the next level in the Six Sigma Black Belt Certificate. You will develop and complete a project that will benefit your company, while discovering the tremendous value of Six Sigma methodology. Six Sigma can make all the difference when used to: reduce the cycle time during production, optimize response time to inquiries, maximize the speed and accuracy of the supply chain, and "mistake-proof" support processes.
