In addition to the requirements (detailed below), undertaking our Black Belt Certification program requires you to devise and execute an improvement project to UTS requirements. This plan must be conducted with the approval from a sponsor within your workplace. Upon acceptance into the program, you will receive detailed information on assessment criteria and the certification process.
From here, you will be assigned a Master Black Belt coach, who will provide support and feedback as you work through each stage of your improvement project in real time. You will be required to submit the relevant documentation and evidence of progress at each stage of the project to your coach, for feedback.
At the end of the project, you are to submit a completed report with your project portfolio, which will be used for certification assessment. Satisfactory completion of all requirements will reward you with the Black Belt Certification.
The Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Certification program fee includes:
- Written feedback on the sponsor-approved and sponsor-signed improvement plan proposal
- Four, one-hour coaching sessions conducted by telephone, web-chat or face-to-face, with the timing and method dependent on mutual availability, and
- Assessment of one completed improvement project portfolio, complying with certification guidelines.
It is possible to complete the certification process within two to three months and it must be completed within a maximum timeframe of 12 months.
