Key Learning Outcomes : 

•    Apply Lean concepts such as 5S, waste reduction, process mapping, value stream mapping, and mistake-proofing
•    Apply basic and more advanced statistical analyses to determine the relationship between key inputs and process outputs
•    Effectively manage team dynamics and understand how to work with multiple levels of leadership to remove barriers and achieve project success 
•    Close projects and hand over control to process owners
•    Present projects to instructors, peers, and managers
Certification Alignment : Our Certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt is accredited by IASSC 

Certification Details and Criteria: 

Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Certification follows the flipped classroom model. The online self-paced content acts as the pre-read material for the live sessions. The learner needs to complete the online self-paced videos, attend live sessions, and pass both the projects and assessments.

IASSC Certification:

•    The exam fee is included for all regions except the Indian subcontinent and Africa. 
•    The candidate can earn IASSC certification in Lean Six Sigma Black Belt by appearing for the IASSC Certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt exam and scoring a minimum of 70%.

•    Upon succeeding, the candidate will receive a certificate, suitable for framing, issued by the IASSC.
