Six Sigma Black Belt Certificate

This program does not have an upcoming scheduled session.

Please fill out the interest form below to contact an XLC representative to learn more.

Name(Required)

Six Sigma participants must have a Green Belt Certificate prior to attending Black Belt.  If the Green Belt certificate is from an organization other than XLC, prospective participants must provide a previous Green Belt project and pass the XLC Green Belt exam.  In this scenario, Black Belt registration is dependent upon approval.

With our Six Sigma Black Belt Certification program, not only will you develop the comprehensive knowledge needed to earn certification, but you will practice applying that learning throughout the program. This hands-on and project-based program will enable you to expand your knowledge in Six Sigma and turn that knowledge into action that delivers measurable operational improvements in business performance.

XLC’s Six Sigma Black Belt program consists of 6 required sessions: one virtual introductory meeting and five in-person program sessions.

The virtual introductory meeting will establish a foundation for success by:

  • Introducing the program facilitator
  • Explaining the program’s expectations
  • Helping participants choose and build a Black Belt project charter
  • Share statistical software and laptop requirements
  • Answer any questions before the in-person sessions begin

Participants will use their project charters developed after the virtual session throughout the in-person program days. After the in-person portion of the program, participants will complete a Six Sigma Black Belt exam and project.

Description

You will practice sophisticated statistical decision-making tools and learn how to communicate and leverage results from these analyses to impact behavior, decisions, and ultimately, delivery of the level of quality required for Six Sigma and customer satisfaction excellence.

You will discuss your specific issues and challenges and identify the best approach and tools to drive improvement. Additionally, you will learn how to integrate the tools of Six Sigma and problem-solving techniques to engage others to deliver Six Sigma results
