Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Certification

This Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certification is self-paced, and students are given one year to complete the program. Upon completion of the program (including a final test and project submittal), students will receive a certificate (Certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt) and 12 CEU's (Continuing Education Units). The program also provides students with a SigmaXL software license and multiple templates that they can modify to suit their own needs.  The program is accredited by the Council for Six Sigma Certification.  For a group quote or for customization, contact us.

Timing: This program is the equivalent of a 12-day in-person class; however, the time to complete this as a self-paced program averages approximately 24-32 hours plus project time.
