Lean Six Sigma Black Belt
Blended Learning Program
Course Description
Lean Six Sigma (LSS) is a disciplined process improvement approach focused on reducing waste, increasing
customer satisfaction, and reducing variability for improved profits…among many other benefits.
Black Belts act as both statistical consultants and team leaders for the project. They work with a Champion to
select the right project and they are accountable for the results. Their responsibilities include deploying
effective control plans to ensure gains are sustained, and communicating results to leverage gains within and
among organizations. They also help train other employees.
The LSS Black Belt course prepares people to become expert Lean Six Sigma practitioners and equips them to
lead complex projects by blending the tools of Lean with the rigorous DMAIC problem-solving methodology and
advanced statistical toolset.
Blended Learning
FLEXIBLE: Class sessions can be 100% online or
augmented with live classroom instruction.
FAST: Self-paced online learning and up to
50% less class time.
EFFECTIVE: Interactive modules and project
simulations accelerate and cement learning.
ON-THE-JOB SUPPORT: Modules provide a quickaccess job aid, as needed, when project challenges
arise.
Certification
At the Black Belt level, certification recognizes understanding and ability to apply Lean Six Sigma knowledge.
Certification is earned from TQG Master Champions, Academic Partners, or Distribution Partners.
