This Six Sigma Black Belt course prepares participants to perform the role of a Six Sigma Black Belt. The Six Sigma Black Belt training materials comprise a comprehensive curriculum covering everything within the Six Sigma Body of Knowledge required to successfully complete Black Belt certification. After achieving this qualification, the Black Belts contribute their knowledge and expertise and utilise the learnt DMAIC methodology and the relevant tools as well as the project management skills during the execution of a project throughout the organisation as a project manager to manage a team of Yellow and Green Belts.
The Six Sigma Black Belt certification program is perfect for participants with limited or no exposure to Six Sigma who want to achieve their Six Sigma Black Belt Certificate without achieving Yellow Belt and Green Certificates. The Six Sigma Green Belt Body of Knowledge is covered in the first 3-days with the additional topics covered in the remaining 4-days for upgrading to the Six Sigma Black Belt.
After passing the knowledge exam, participants will be certified as Six Sigma Black Belts.
As a bonus, if the participants want to apply their knowledge and complete a project, after successful completion of the Six Sigma Black Belt Project Portfolio within 6 months, they will achieve another certificate that includes the project title. A project examination fee of $860+GST is payable if applicable.
The certificates will be granted under the Exemplar Global banner according to the ISO 18404 international standard.
The ISO 18404 Exemplar Global Certification also includes the following services free of charge for 12 months:
As all Six Sigma Black Belt topics are covered during the course, there is no formal prerequisite for the Six Sigma Black Belt Certification. Intermediate numeracy and statistical knowledge are required.
The course was very professional, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend getting training through CBIS. Arash is an extremely knowledgeable Lean six sigma training with both theoretical and practical real-world knowledge.
Toyota acquired the services CBIS to develop key skills in the Lean Six Sigma philosophy for Engineers within all manufacturing arms. These skills were then to be applied throughout all departments to improve the organisation as a whole.
Arash displayed supreme dedication to the task at hand. He was both flexible and understanding of various time constraints of the participants and tailored a solution to appease all members of the program, even though there may have been ramifications to his business.
As an instruction/tutor, Arash is energetic and extremely knowledgeable in the LSS field. He also displayed superb tolerance and patience with the group and ensured key concepts were not only understood, but were able to be applied in real life situations to re-enforce learning. Furthermore, Arash’s enthusiasm ensured ‘dry’ parts of the program were enjoyable and easy to digest.
I highly recommend CBIS for any industry willing to embark upon change.
Professional training that allowed time for discussion of difficult topics and their application to a range of problems. Couldn’t think of a better way to prepare to solve problems in life as a black belt practitioner.
Technical concepts are explained clearly with lots of practical examples made teh course interesting.
Lean Six Sigma is a process improvement program that combines two ideas: Lean as a collection of techniques for improving flow in the value stream, eliminating waste and reducing the time needed to provide products or services, and Six Sigma is a collection of techniques and methodology for uncovering root causes to understand and reduce variation, consequently improving the quality of products and services, substantially contributing to increased customer satisfaction.
By combining the two methodologies, Lean Six Sigma is a proven business management strategy that helps organisations operate more effectively and efficiently by reducing variation and waste.
The organisations will benefit from the Lean & Six Sigma training and application through:
This will be achieved by performing interactive tasks, to achieve the following learning outcomes:
In the Lean Six Sigma environment, the qualifications and the level of engagement of a project team are ranked by different belt colours, which is a concept borrowed from Eastern martial arts. Yellow Belt is the first recognised level of Lean Six Sigma certification which can be upgraded to Green Belt and then Black Belt as the second and third recognised levels. Master Black Belts (MBB), as the highest ranked belt, is a common accreditation for professionals who work as the Lean Six Sigma senior trainer, consultant or coach as their career.
