SSA & Company’s Six Sigma Gold Belt Certification offering is a five-week, highly refined and innovative program that steps beyond traditional Black Belt training. In our approach, participants are taught Lean and Six Sigma tools and techniques while executing a real process improvement project at their home companies. Unlike conventional Black Belt offerings, in which participants are simply taught a series of Six Sigma tools and techniques, SSA & Company’s Gold Belt Certification training also offers 40 hours of individual remote and on-site project mentoring and coaching to ensure participants deliver quantifiable, bottom-line results to their organizations. In addition, our Gold Belt Certification training sets a new standard for Six Sigma Black Belt leadership, incorporating Six Sigma, Lean, and Change Management tools into one comprehensive process improvement curriculum.

Gold Belt Certification training is designed for highperforming professionals who are focused on optimizing business process performance for their organization. The five-week accelerated curriculum provides future leaders with the best and most effective Lean Six Sigma training on the market.
