The Black Belt training set-up explained

Our programme is meticulously designed to support the application of advanced Lean Six Sigma knowledge in complex, cross-functional environments. In the featured video, our lead instructor and Master Black Belt, Michel Doppert, explains the benefits and expectations of undertaking the Black Belt Services course. Below, we present the key stages to develop into a results-driven Black Belt capable of leading organisational improvement initiatives.

Preparation

Throughout your entire journey and beyond, you will have access to our online suite of instructional videos, digital books and several in-depth full courses, found on our separate e-learning platform ‘The Productivity Company’. These materials are available to you in perpetuity, and they offer you the opportunity to revisit your learning insights at any point in time, whether it is as preparation, a refresher or just to brush up on the finer details of the craft.

Training days (8)

Your classroom training will walk you through the background, theory and practical aspects of Lean Six Sigma, with a strong emphasis on the latter. During your classroom training you will not only learn directly from the instructor, but also from the insights and case studies of your peers. As you progress through this part of the programme, your new insights, and the aid of your instructor will help you formulate and prepare for your first project.
  • Theory instruction
  • Case studies
  • Simulations
  • Exercises
  • Peer to peer discussion
  • Continue defining and planning your first project

Project

During the eight classroom days, you’ll not only learn the method but also work directly on your project. You’ll spend half the time on the content and tools, and the other half applying them to your own case. The instructor in the group will provide continuous feedback, allowing you to make adjustments on the fly.

Subsidies

There are several ways to finance a training programme with The Lean Six Sigma Company. In many cases, it is common for the employer to cover the costs, and arrangements can easily be made. Paying yourself? Instalment payments are possible — contact us to arrange this.

Participants may also benefit from additional support options, including educational leave in Baden-Württemberg and Hamburg and, in Austria, potential funding from the Public Employment Service (AMS) in the event of unemployment.

Return on investment (ROI)

Results and hard data are often the strongest justification for an investment — and this is no different for our Black Belt training.

After training thousands of participants, we consistently see that Black Belt projects deliver a return of 5 to 6 times the initial investment, often already achieved with the very first project.

Dates and enrolment

During the training days, you can focus entirely on your development. We provide a professional learning environment, including ample parking, coffee and tea, soft drinks, snacks, and a full lunch.

With this all-in approach, you can fully concentrate on developing your Black Belt skills and successfully completing your project.
