The online, on-demand Lean Six Sigma Black Belt course uses Minitab software or SigmaXL software examples. Once you are certified, you will be able to join successful project managers, improvement consultants, supervisors, managers, leaders and individual contributors who are saving billions by improving productivity, reducing waste, variation and defects. This course includes all the Green Belt course material. The Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certification is one of the most sought-after credentials in business today. As a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, your mastery of Six Sigma techniques and strategies will help you lead top-quality projects and mentor Green Belts in your organization, where together you will identify and implement breakthrough improvements for enhanced bottom-line results.
Black Belt is officially the 4th level of Six Sigma training:
- White Belt
- Yellow Belt (includes White Belt)
- Green Belt (includes Yellow Belt)
- Black Belt (includes Green Belt)

About this course
The Lean Six Sigma Six Black Belt is over 70 hours of online content (7 CEUs or 70 PDU as OpEx Learning is an IACET accredited provider), which includes about 30 hours of Green Belt. We have removed all unnecessary content and information in the training material, to maximize what you need to know in the least amount of time. Our training is fast-paced and engaging, and no single module exceeds 30 minutes, so you can complete on your own schedule in small doses. Typical online courses cover the same content in 80 or more hours.
