Six Sigma Black Belt Certification
BUS 7435
After successful completion of this 100-hour course, participants should be better prepared to provide an organization with the leadership and knowledge expertise of a certified Six Sigma Black Belt. The course content is built around the American Society for Quality (ASQ) body of knowledge. Six Sigma Black Belts lead project cross-functional project teams, to carry out identified improvement projects. As such, Black Belts need to be able to implement all of the appropriate tools of Six Sigma and provide statistical expertise for project teams. They work with, lead and mentor cross-functional teams to define and measure problems, analyze the root causes, implement improvements, and establish control at new levels. This course blends classroom instruction (40 hours) with required on-line assignments (60 hours).
To achieve certification, students must successfully complete all online modules, pass a 4-hours in-class certification exam, demonstrate proficiency of data analysis techniques using Minitab, and demonstrate proficiency in applying the Six Sigma skills by documentation of a completed Six Sigma project.
For those students who wish to also achieve ASQ certification, this course will prepare you for that exam but the ASQ exam is not a requirement of this course. This course does not guarantee that a participant will pass the ASQ exam. The exam is not administered through CPCC. The fees associated with test eligibility and test-taking are handled separately by the participant through ASQ. Currently, the ASQ exam is a 4-hour exam given twice a year locally at a cost of $285 for non-members. To be eligible for the exam, two signed affidavits attesting to the completion of two Six Sigma projects must be submitted along with the fee. For more information on the exam, see www.asq.org
After successfully completing this intensive blended course, individuals will receive a CPCC certificate and be awarded 10.0 CEUs (continuing education units).
This course typically meets once per week for three (3) hours at one of our convenient multi-campus locations. The cost of this 100-hour course is $2995 and includes materials. There is an additional $4 CAPS fee per course (for all CCE courses).
