The Six Sigma plus Lean Black Belt course is an 12 Day training program. The Six Sigma plus Lean Black Belt course is spread over a 3 week period. The weeks between each section allows the Black Belts to work on their project assignments and prepare for their Black Belt Certification. This 3-week model is ideal for the smaller to mid-sized companies that have difficulty freeing up key personnel for an entire week of training required by most training models.
