Sign up to be notified when the next Six Sigma Black Belt course is scheduled.

Graduates will master the principles and techniques of data-driven decision-making and can use this process information to reduce variation and improve performance. Participants gain a comprehensive, in-depth education of the Lean Six Sigma methodology.

Completion of this unique, application-centric certification process will also enable participants to use and learn the “DMAIC” methodology (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) to address specific operational challenges within their organizations. In this way, participants can improve and control constraining or unreliable processes to reduce costs, save time, increase customer satisfaction, and grow sales. Participants will also understand the importance of a Continuous Improvement Culture and have the tools to set up and lead a Continuous Improvement Council that will guide process improvements throughout their company.

Our schedule enables participants to apply as they learn, meeting in groups with other Black Belt candidates to share and learn from each other.

Between classroom sessions, participants receive 3 coaching sessions with a DVIRC Master Black Belt. These coaching sessions are designed to provide one-on-one time for discussing project progress, understanding Six Sigma process-improvement principles and associated techniques, and receiving guidance on the steps necessary for project completion.
