The Online Six Sigma Black Belt Certificate Program offers the flexibility of an e-learning format. Participants are expected to complete the lectures and exercises within five months from their start date. The industry-focused project will then be due within six months from completion of the modules. Most participants spend 150 hours viewing lectures and completing exercises. UM expects participants to complete the entire program within one year from the start date. The average program completion time is eight months.
Prerequisites
Participants should have a working knowledge of:
- Descriptive statistics (mean, std. deviation, etc.)
- Basic graphical analysis (scatter plot, histogram, pareto)
- Basic linear regression / correlation (fitting a line)
- Basic probability distribution fitting (e.g., normal)
- Basic Microsoft Excel (and/or statistical software) skills
- All Black Belts are given entry into the UM Green Belt course for the purpose of reviewing lectures presented at the basic level
Professional Certificate
- Achieve greater than 80% cumulative average from online exercises (multiple choice questions and short answers from solving case studies).
- Final certificate to be granted based on passing the final exam (50 questions, online) with greater than 80% and successful completion of the project.
- Qualifying participants receive a plaque-mounted certificate
Technical Requirements
- High-speed Internet access, Microsoft Excel, Real Player Basic 8.0 or higher
- Minitab V13 required (not provided)
