Lean Six Sigma Training for Professionals & Executives

Certification pathway

The belt ladder

Yellow Belt

2–8 hours · Online or classroom

Fluency in Lean Six Sigma vocabulary, the DMAIC cycle, and basic process mapping — built for team members who support projects without leading them.

Green Belt

4–8 weeks · Online, classroom or blended

Runs a real DMAIC project part-time alongside a day job: statistical process control, hypothesis testing, root-cause tools, and a graded capstone project.

Black Belt

8 weeks online · or 4–8 day classroom intensive

Advanced DOE, regression, and process capability analysis, with an AI project coach reviewing every DMAIC deliverable. Candidates lead a full improvement project to a documented financial result.

MBB

Master Black Belt

Week-long intensive · Cohort of 12 or fewer

Program design, coaching Black Belts through their own projects, and Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) methods for teams building new products or services from scratch.

Executive & Champion Track

1–2 day workshop · Onsite for leadership teams

Built for sponsors, not practitioners: how to select projects with real P&L impact, remove organizational barriers, and read a project charter or control plan without needing a translator.

Delivery formats

Same curriculum. Whatever format fits your team.

Mix formats within a single belt if you need to — start self-paced, join a live classroom lab for the capstone, and finish with an AI-coached project review.

Self-paced online

Video lessons, downloadable templates, and practice datasets — start any day, work at your own pace.

Live virtual cohort

Scheduled instructor-led sessions with a fixed cohort, breakout labs, and live Q&A.

In-person classroom

Multi-day intensives at our regional training centers — hands-on labs with real production data.

Yellow Belt is the entry tier — a short, low-cost introduction before committing to a full belt. Training-only prices reflect Meridian Sigma's premium positioning against the global market range we benchmark against, from budget self-paced providers (roughly $175–$700 per belt) to university and boutique-consulting programs (roughly $1,900–$5,500 per belt). Certification exam fees are the Council for Six Sigma Certification's (CSSC) current published rates — paid by the candidate to CSSC, not to Meridian Sigma. IASSC, a different independent body, prices its own Black Belt exam higher (around $395) and will be used instead on request. AI project-coach add-on: +$150/person, any belt. Corporate groups of 5+ receive a discount on the training fee — contact us for a quote. Prices are per participant, guide pricing in USD; final invoice can be issued in USD, EUR, or GBP. Payment is 50% at enrollment and 50% at the start of training — see our cancellation & refund policy.
