Overview

Our Six Sigma Black Belt training course includes the Yellow Belt, Green Belt and Black Belt training & exams.

Our Six Sigma Black Belt Online Training has been developed to teach you the techniques, skills, and knowledge, of the Lean Six Sigma methodology, enabling you implement these methods and practices into your own projects.

Lean Six Sigma is a combination of two practices; Lean, which is about minimising waste in everyday activities and Six Sigma is a framework for eliminating defects. Combined, these two methodologies can help organisations to successfully improve staff morale, increase customer satisfaction, and reduce overall costs.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
