Six Sigma: Black Belt

Get the training needed to operate as a Six Sigma Black Belt. This course goes beyond the Six Sigma: Green Belt course, covering statistics and other advanced project tools.

Demonstrate your mastery of Six Sigma principles, philosophies, and related tools by becoming a Certified Six Sigma Black Belt. Black Belts operate under Master Black Belts to apply Six Sigma methodology to specific projects. They devote all of their valued time to Six Sigma. In this course, operational excellence expert, master Black Belt trainer, and professor Dr. Richard Chua explains how to use Six Sigma and its quality and statistical tools as he prepares you to become a Black Belt.

Dr. Richard Chua builds upon his Six Sigma: Green Belt, Six Sigma Foundations, and Learning Minitab courses—which are prerequisites to this course—and covers an array of topics, including measurement system analysis, hypothesis testing, response surface methods, displaying improved process capabilities, and more.
