Six Sigma Training Courses

Six Sigma is a rigorous and disciplined methodology that utilizes data and statistical analysis to measure and improve a company’s operational performance, practices and systems. It identifies and prevents defects in manufacturing and service-related processes and in many organizations, it simply means a measure of quality that strives for near perfection.
With WCTI, you’ll gain powerful tools and techniques to help earn industry-recognized certification in all levels of Six Sigma — from Champion to Black Belt and every level in between. See our sample courses below and don’t hesitate to contact us with questions.
All training courses can be delivered onsite at your organization, online in a live setting, or online in a self-paced format.
