The Black Belt Certification Course is offered in two different ways:
1) As a “bridge” after the CI360 Green Belt course has been taken
2) As a stand-alone course, which does not require the CI360 Green Belt course as a pre-requisite.
After the 24th week, the course is self driven by the student and can be completed in as little as 7 months or less.
The CI360 Black Belt course contains the content from the 6 Green Belt modules, as well as 9 additional modules that advanced the levels of learning. It is taught with relevance to industries both in the transactional/service and operational/production sectors. Examples and interactive exercises help to teach the concepts to the adult learner.
