IntroductiON
What makes Black Belts so effective is their wide array of knowledge about the facets of Lean Six Sigma. During the training, students develop a deep understanding of Continuous Improvement tools and methods, as well as the soft-skills necessary to employ them effectively. Lean Six Sigma Black Belts are experts in turning employee resistance to change into support for further projects. Students acquire everything they need to start using Lean Six Sigma from the very start or join existing projects.
Black Belts can achieve incredible results. They dedicate their time to Continuous Improvement, involve stakeholders, deliver statistical insights, and resolve root causes permanently. By leading projects that involve and help multiple departments, their projects contribute strongly to organizational goals. Black Belts know exactly which processes to refine in order to achieve the highest cost-benefit ratio. This combination of both hard- and soft-skills, understanding of analytics, and Continuous Improvement expertise is what makes Lean Six Sigma Black Belts so valuable to organizations.

Curriculum
The effectiveness of Lean Six Sigma Black Belts stems from the rare ability to help everyone save time. Time is always in short supply. But by refining processes, creating shared routines and by changing how people deal with hurdles at work, Lean Six Sigma practitioners can save incredible amounts of time. Black Belts learn how to deconstruct and rebuild processes, learn how to involve others in Continuous Improvement and how to improve the working standard for everyone.
Our Black Belt Services training has been designed with students in mind who wish to employ Lean Six Sigma on a full-time basis within larger, enterprise-sized organizations. This training is intended for those who seek future employment in the Continuous Improvement field, and the training content reflects this. Included in the training is a coached project and in total will take approximately 3-4 months. Below we list some of our learning materials which you can pick and choose from to study and prepare for your class sessions.

Starting Dates
Faq
Every training we provide assumes our students start the training without any understanding of the Lean Six Sigma methodology. It starts with the fundamentals and explains every topic that is mentioned without assuming prior experience. During the training, you will carry out simulations and exercises to help you develop your knowledge. If you choose to carry out a project as part of your training, you will be coached and assisted by one of the (Master) Black Belts of The Lean Six Sigma Company to help you get started.
This depends on your goals and what you intend to achieve. If you would prefer to employ Lean Six Sigma on a part-time basis, for example alongside of other work, the Green Belt training would be the best choice. If it’s your aim to work with Continuous Improvement and Lean Six Sigma on a full-time basis, then the Black Belt training would be the right pick. The same applies to Lean and our Lean Practitioner and Lean Leader training, respectively.
Lean Six Sigma is a methodology that one can start using during any career phase and this training is the ideal starting point. Even as a beginner, your work can add tremendous value. Lean Six Sigma can serve as an addition to your current work, replacing a part of your existing responsibilities. Or it can become a new full-time career, depending on the training you choose.
Our training has been designed to start at the very basics on the assumption that our students aren’t familiar with any of the subjects. We realize the idea of working with statistics can sound somewhat intimidating, but rest assured, our trainers have helped thousands of students understand (and find their interest in) statistics. Additionally, we offer several videos on our MyTraining™ platform that will help you prepare for, or repeat, specific exercises
The Lean Six Sigma Company strives to organize its courses training during normal working hours.
This is a conscious choice in order to avoid interfering with the private lives of our students and to get students used to the idea of working with Lean Six Sigma during typical working hours, and continue this habit once they complete the training.
