 With the globalization of quality standards, major organizations have adopted Lean and Six Sigma methodologies to empower their staffs to identify and quantify defects and then take steps to systematically eliminate them. Individuals with specialized training in Lean and Six Sigma are recognized through their designation as Blackbelt or Greenbelt certified. The NGS Blackbelt is project-based, thus giving students the chance to demonstrate real-world results. NGS also offers a special Blackbelt Program specifically for NGS graduates.

Six Sigma - What Is It?
Popularized in the mid-1980’s by Motorola, Six Sigma is the accepted statistical measure for analyzing and reducing defects and waste. Six Sigma certification is a marketplace requirement by major industry leaders such as General Electric, Boeing and Allied Signal. Morgan Stanley and USA Today note that comprehensive Six Sigma programs drive up company stock values. Black Belts are sought after and are considered valued employees.
It's as Easy as 1-2-3
The NGS Blackbelt Certification programs follow a 1-2-3 pattern:
- Top-level involvement and commitment by senior leadership
- Practical training to reduce defects and cost of poor quality
- Formal results report-out to verify organizational savings
