Course programme

The Knowledge Academy Six Sigma Black Belt Upgrade 5 day course covers the following topics:

Introduction

This course is designed for delegates who have passed Six Sigma Green Belt and wish to upgrade their knowledge to Black Belt level.

Six Sigma Black Belt is a much sought-after qualification which shows expertise with Six Sigma and that the holder has the skills required to manage and lead quality improvement projects using the DMAIC methodology.

This 5-day course includes everything delegates need to get their knowledge up to Black Belt level. Our courses focus on practical techniques which you can start using right away. You will be provided with a comprehensive course workbook which can act as a reference for you after you leave the classroom. Formal exercises and discussion within the classroom will help you learn to apply your new knowledge when you return to your workplace.

Pre-Course Reading

We will provide you with some reading to do before the course starts. We also recommend reviewing your Yellow and Green Belt study material as the course assumes prior knowledge.

You will also need a laptop with a copy of Minitab 16 or later installed. A 30-day trial version is available, and details of how to install this are included within your pre-course reading document.

It is important to point out that the trial version is only for 30 days, so you need to time your download so Minitab remains active for the duration of the Black Belt section of the course. Also, Minitab is not currently available for Apple Macs.

Prerequisites

You must be Green Belt qualified before taking this course. This qualification can be obtained by taking our Knowledge Academy Green Belt course.

Who Should Attend?

We recommend this course for any Six Sigma Green Belt looking to build on their knowledge and lead Six Sigma projects.

Course Outline

The course lasts five days. In-class activities will show you how to perform statistical calculations using the Industry Standard package (Minitab) while the case study-based exercises will challenge you to use the tools learned in a real-world perspective. On the final day will be a case study based on what you’ve learned.

The Assessment

A 100 question multiple choice examination with a pass mark of 70 out of 100.

Success in the exam indicates that the candidate would be able to lead a programme of process improvement initiatives, guiding up to six Green Belt teams at any one time act as a subject matter expert on Lean Six Sigma methodology and tools.

About Six Sigma

Six Sigma is a quality improvement methodology for businesses which focuses on collecting and analysing data on business processes in order to identify where defects are occurring and decide how to reduce them. In organisations, Six Sigma is practised by specialised Six Sigma teams with different designations: Black and Master Black Belts oversee Six Sigma related activities, while Green and Yellow Belts work together with the Black Belts to help carry these activities out. Having been invented originally by Motorola in the 1980s, Six Sigma has since been taken on by many other companies and has proven itself as an effective method for quality improvement in business.
