Waste comes from unnecessary steps in the process of production within the organisation. On the other hand, waste also results from variation within the process in case of Six Sigma.

Waste elimination can be achieved by following the principles laid down in the various Lean Six Sigma Belt courses. The Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Upgrade course is available to those professionals who have already certified as Lean Six Sigma Green Belt. The Black Belt Upgrade course allows the professionals to cover the contents of just the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt course. Unlike the Black Belt course under which Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt and Green Belt are covered, this upgrade course covers neither of them.

One will need to have 70 percentage marks i.e. 70 questions must be correct from 100 to clear the exam. Our trainers will make sure that the delegates have gone through all the concepts of the subject so that they can easily clear the exam in the first attempt.

The language used in the exam would be English. In case, the delegate is not comfortable with the exam in English; we can try to provide the exam in another language by consulting our trainer or management.
