Details
Curriculum
Hybrid Lean Six Sigma Blackbelt
This program is a hybrid delivery with some online learning, some virtual instructor led sessions and some face-to-face instructor led sessions. The program spans 5 months.
The students are to be leading an actual project during this time so they can practice the tools and participate in the tollgates. The program includes an optional final review session prior to the student sitting for the IASSC Blackbelt exam.
Each online module requires 20-30 minutes to complete. These are self-paced, online learning sessions with a 5 minute video, a short quiz, and an exercise that will test the knowledge. The face-to-face “Phase” sessions will review the topics for that phase and conduct Phase tollgates on the student projects. Students will participate in the tollgate review to gain experience in conducting gate reviews.
The program includes approximately 18 days of training (13 online/virtual and 5 face-to-face).
Who Should Enroll
Students interested in earning their black belt certification. Prior experience and green belt is helpful.
