IntroductiON
What makes Black Belts so effective is their wide array of knowledge about the facets of Lean Six Sigma. During this course, participants 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. Course participants 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 organisational 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 organisations.
course variants
Attend a classroom session and enjoy interaction with fellow participants. Share ideas, learn from group exercises and discuss project ideas with your trainer, even from the first day. Our classrooms are all about interactivity and our practical exercises will help you develop your own Lean insights.
Interactivity and engagement are key for all of our courses. Together with your fellow participants, you will explore various tools and methods such as Push & Pull, Poka Yoke, Kaizen events, 5S and much more. The same quality as our classroom sessions but from the comfort of your home or office.
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 course has been designed with course participants in mind who wish to employ Lean Six Sigma on a full-time basis within larger, enterprise-sized organisations. 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 4-6 months. Below we list some of our learning materials which you can pick and choose from to study and prepare for your class sessions.

FiNancial details
Course participants of The Lean Six Sigma Company have two options: they can choose from a course which includes a project and all the necessary coaching from an experienced project coach, or enrol in the course without carrying out a project.
Results and cold, hard facts are often the best way to justify a purchase. Our courses are no different, and deliver said results without fail. After having trained countless of people in the Lean Six Sigma methodology, our findings are as follows: Black Belt projects generate extra revenue and/or save costs which can exceed amounts with more than 5 figures. With a project taking approximately 4-6 months, it is even possible to carry out multiple projects a year.
If it’s a course for an entire team you’re looking for, then our In-Company pages will be of interest. Our trainers will also host every course we offer to individuals in your organisation. There is no easier way to get started with Lean or Lean Six Sigma as a team than with our In-Company courses.
Starting Dates
Faq
Every course we provide assumes our course participants start the course 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 course, 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 course, 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 course 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 course would be the right pick. The same applies to Lean and our Lean Practitioner and Lean Leader course, respectively.
Lean Six Sigma is a methodology that one can start using during any career phase and this course 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 course you choose.
Our course has been designed to start at the very basics on the assumption that our course participants aren’t familiar with any of the subjects. We realise the idea of working with statistics can sound somewhat intimidating, but rest assured, our trainers have helped thousands of participants to 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 organise its courses during normal working hours.
This is a conscious choice in order to avoid interfering with the private lives of our participants and to get them used to the idea of working with Lean Six Sigma during typical working hours, and continue this habit once they complete the course.
However, some local exceptions apply. Please reach out to to the helpdesk in your region if you have any questions
