You can go ahead for Black Belt directly with a longer time frame (10 days class sessions in addition to time spent with pre-course study material). This is similar to attending Green Belt followed by the upgrade Black Belt training.

Hello VK Sir,

I need to know if one can RIGHTFULLY persuade Black Belt directly after Green Belt, i.e. without successful completion of a B project.

Keenly looking forward for your reply.

Hi Naresh,

You are eligible for the Black Belt Training once you are a certified green belt. The time frame for a Black Belt trainign is 2 weeks appox.

I you really want to have a Black Belt cetification done, I would recommend you to first identify the project as it would help you to understand the six sigma tolls better during the training.

Hope it helps...

My take to the string of the discussions is as follows:

yes, YB - GB - BB are the three levels to showcse the degree of display of Six sigma tooling and the impact of the project delivery. there is QNI ( Quality Net income or Savings ) to quantify the outcome.

The person to sign off the launch of the project is typically the program Owner...generally Vice President ( Operations ) level who would have communicated to the prgram/ process champions the focus areas and pain areas needing process improvement.

The overall Six Sigma initiative has to be Top driven to realize benefits and momentum in continuous improvement.

Internationally, there are a large number of people who opt for a Black Belt program (without opting for a shorter duration Green Belt training). However, such a program includes GB + BB learning in a single training sequence (normally 10-12 days). Benchmark offers BB in a split format (even to people desirous of Black Belt right at the beginning) just to allow people some time before they proceed to Black Belt.

Hope this answers your question.
