Six Sigma is a business management strategy originally developed by Motorola, USA in 1986. Six Sigma seeks to improve the quality of process outputs by identifying and removing the causes of defects (errors) and minimizing variability in manufacturing and business processes.
It uses a set of quality management methods, including statistical methods, and creates a special infrastructure of people within the organization (e.g. "Black Belts" and "Green Belts") who are experts in these methods. Each Lean Six Sigma project carried out within an organisation follows a defined sequence of steps and has quantified financial targets (cost reduction or profit increase).
Train through Firebrand's accelerated methodology and you'll learn at twice the speed in a distraction-free environment.
During this 5-day, IASSC accredited course, you will gain a thorough understanding of all aspects of the Lean Six Sigma Method at an advanced level of proficiency and also achieve a high level of understanding of all aspects of the Lean Six Sigma method and learn the approach, concepts and tools required for business improvement.

Important note: Please download the Minitab software prior to the start of your course. It’s not necessary to purchase the software; the free 30-day trial is enough for the purposes of this course.
There are no formal prerequisites for this accelerated course, however it is recommended that you complete (with Firebrand or through previous training) Lean Six Sigma Green Belt before moving on to the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt qualification as this course is the advanced level of the Lean Six Sigma qualifications. It is also advantageous to complete the pre-reading material before attending the course and also have previous project management experience, either directly as a Project Manager or as part of a team.
It is also recommended that delegates have a basic understanding of Microsoft Office; such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Previous exposure to process improvement or Lean Six Sigma philosophies is helpful, but not essential.
Unsure whether you meet the prerequisites? Don’t worry. Your training consultant will discuss your background with you to understand if this course is right for you.

"Having recognised the business improvement benefits of Lean Six Sigma to my organisation, I researched thoroughly for providers for my Lean Six Sigma black belt training. Firebrand come out on top on all levels. During my training, support from the clerical team was excellent; the pace and delivery from my tutor was excellent. You get my drift. Thoroughly recommend Firebrand for Six Sigma training!"

"This was the second element of my training and I found it as challenging and rewarding as the first. The pace was demanding and i really appreciated the understanding the tutor showed. He really gave me confidence when i wobbled. I found the experience very hard but very rewarding, Thanks!"
