Your employees will gain an advanced understanding of Lean Six Sigma, which covers the entire Six Sigma body of knowledge, the DMAIC model, as well as various methodologies, tools and techniques.
Learners master the subject matter by conducting a Black Belt-level improvement project that can directly benefit your organization or a local organization they would like to support. Throughout the process, an expert instructor will help learners select a project that enhances their knowledge and adds value to your organization, and who will be there along the way for support.
The goal of the course is to empower learners to serve as change agents to improve customer satisfaction and business productivity.
Green Belt Refresher
The online Six Sigma Green Belt Refresher is designed for people who would like to brush up on their Green Belt-level Six Sigma knowledge or take Purdue University’s online Lean Six Sigma Black Belt course. Because courses offered by other providers may diverge somewhat from Purdue’s own course, our Green Belt Refresher helps ensure that all of the learners who enroll in the Black Belt course have the necessary tools to succeed.
Your instructor assesses your Green Belt-level knowledge through a structured online venue and phone interview. If they identify knowledge gaps during the assessment process, they will give you up to 12 assignments designed to strengthen your Lean Six Sigma knowledge and address any deficiencies.
