Lean Six Sigma Green Belt to Black Belt Training and Certification

Update: We have received international recognition for our Lean Six Sigma Green and Black Belt training and certification! CSSC, the Council for Six Sigma Certification, has accredited us - the only one in Finland.

Are you already an experienced Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, whose project requirements have increased and you need more Lean Six Sigma knowledge? Do you want to improve your skills as a project manager in demanding and large-scale Lean Six Sigma projects? You don't need to go through the whole Black Belt Training, but we offer the possibility to complement what you have already learned with an additional 5-day training (4 days for participants who have already attended the Green Belt Training of Jaatinen B.V.).

Lean Six Sigma Green Belt to Black Belt Training

Our Lean Six Sigma Green Belt to Black Belt Training covers a wide range of Lean Six Sigma methodologies and prepares participants for Black Belt Certification. To enhance learning, we recommend that participants run their own project in parallel with the course. The instructor is an internationally experienced, certified Master Black Belt, who now also trains in Finland. In addition to the training, the trainer will also coach the participants in achieving the certification.

Content of the Training

Our Green and Black Belt training and certification meet the quality and content requirements set by CSSC. We also adhere to the content of international standards such as ASQ's and IASSC's Body of Knowledge (BoK), with the exception of a few rare tools. We avoid overloading participants with methods that are not practically needed. Thanks to this selectivity, we can offer the training efficiently in five days (four days for participants who have already completed Jaatinen B.V.'s Green Belt training).

In the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt to Black Belt Training, we go deeper into statistical analysis and change management than in the Green Belt Training. We cover topics such as:

  • Project management brief: the 12-step DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, Control)
  • Define: Defining the voice of the customer in challenging projects, e.g. the "Quality Function Deployment" tool
  • Measure: Analysis of the measurement system using statistical methods (GR&R, Kappa) and calculation of adequate sample size for different situations
  • Analyse: Comprehensive analysis of process performance (Control charts) for different types of data.
  • Improve: A variety of applied statistical analysis methods, e.g..
    • More comprehensive hypothesis tests than in the GB Training
    • Different types of regression analysis
    • New tools for situations where there is a lot of data and/or it is partly incomplete
    • Design of Experiments (Factorial, Conjoint, and Response Surface Design of Experiments)
    • Lean methods beyond the GB Training, e.g. SMED, Jidoka, Andon and Heijunka
    • Different methods for prioritizing solutions
  • Control: Continuous improvement throughout the value chain

The training is very interactive and includes many concrete models, examples and simulations, as well as "Lessons Learned" examples from other organisations.

To get the most out of the training, we recommend that participants have their own improvement project during the course. Read our blog for advice on choosing a project.

After the training, you will have the opportunity to have your project approved. Those who pass the requirements will receive a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Certificate.

Accredited Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certification

After the training, you can become certified by having your project work approved. After passing the requirements, you will receive the prestigious Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certification, accredited by the Council for Six Sigma Certification . Certification coaching and certification are included in the price of the training.

Our Black Belt Certifications meet/exceed the quality and content requirements set by the CSSC. We also comply with the contents of the international standards ASQ and IASSC BoK ("Body of Knowledge") except for the rarest methods and tools.

You can find out more about the content requirements of the standards at the link: Black Belt Certifications and Requirements.
