The Six Sigma Black Belt is the key change agent for the Six Sigma process-leading teams to organizational improvement, where it is needed most. Our Six Sigma Black Belt Training Certification Training is an intensive training program in quantitative and qualitative analytical skills, project management, group dynamics, team building, and change management.

Six Sigma teaches a set of proven methods and tools (the DMAIC process) to help you (1) Define what needs to be improved, and Measure what you're currently doing; (2) Analyze the data and develop an improvement plan; (3) Improve your current process and measure success; and (4) Control the gains and repeat the process.

STAT-A-MATRIX certification as a Six Sigma Black Belt requires successful completion of the course, a passing grade on the final examination, and submission of a detailed report of a successful project.
