The organizational benefits

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.

About our Black Belt training

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.

Frequently asked questions

Can I enroll and join a training without any prior experience or knowledge of Lean Six Sigma?

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.

What is the right training for me?

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.

Is a Lean Six Sigma training relevant to my career phase?

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.

 

I find statistics a daunting topic, is a Lean Six Sigma training still for me?

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

Do you offer any evening- or weekend training?

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.

However, some local exceptions apply. Please reach out to to the helpdesk in your region if you have any questions

Do you offer training in other languages?

More information about our worldwide presence can be found on our theleansixsigmacompany.eu worldmap page, here you will find in which countries we are currently active and offer training.

How does the Black Belt Services training differ from the Black Belt Manufacturing training?

The Services training is most fitting for those employed in transactional careers such as general administration, logistics, finance, etc. The ‘Manufacturing’ training is most fitting for those involved with mass production, machinery, factories and automation). While the Of course, those who complete the Manufacturing training can still carry out projects in the aforementioned transactional fields.
