Classroom Black Belt Course overview
Our Black Belt classroom training is different, it uses a blended approach so that more time can be spent discussing projects, your problems, analysis your data and working on exercises to apply learning. Some simple theory is covered with online learning giving more time to focus on individuals and ensuring you fully understand the topics.
The classroom Lean Six Sigma Black Belt training combines online pre-course reading and two 5-day classroom courses (10 days in total). The first 5 days provides a Green Belt Certificate and the second 5 days you will be Black Belt trained. Our blended approach provides a significantly better outcome than traditional lecture-style sessions, and provides an enjoyable and engaging learning experience.
Before, during and after your training you will be given support and feedback to help you develop personally, complete Lean Six Sigma projects and certify. Your internationally recognised Master Black Belt will work with you on your Lean Six Sigma project and, once complete, you can then certify as a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt.
Our courses are run regularly throughout the UK including London, Manchester, Milton Keynes and York. Lunch is provided as well as course manuals, and courses are held at professional training venues.
