The Black Belt Certification is a 140-hour course, over four non-consecutive weeks, with three weeks of 'real world' application following each week of instruction (for the day program) or 2 evenings per week for 20 consecutive weeks (for the evening program). This course is beneficial to anyone wishing to master LSS principles and lead LSS process improvement projects. LSS Black Belt candidates are change agents and leaders who have developed a high proficiency in Lean and Six Sigma philosophies, concepts and tools, and understand how these two powerful methodologies augment each other.

This particular program engages a project-based approach to deliver and reinforce Black Belt skills. During the training period, candidates work through a real improvement project while being coached. This results in a deeper level of understanding and immediate payback for the organization. Hence, becoming a Black Belt is an outstanding investment in your personal and professional development. The training for Black Belts provides higher-level tools and methodologies required to function in their role as project managers.
