Although Six Sigma training is a popular term throughout the business world, not that many people know the difference between the Six Sigma belts. Understanding the belt system of Six Sigma is not difficult when you think of it in terms of tiers. The top level is a Black Belt, much the same as in martial arts. There is also a Master Black Belt who holds the highest level of Six Sigma Training and is responsible for training and mentoring the other color levels. The Green Belt is next in line after the black, followed by the Yellow Belt and, finally, the White Belt rounds off the list at the lowest level of training and experience. The six sigma belt system, with each color denoting certified levels of expertise, is one of the popular ways to further the learning, training, and quality improvement knowledge of employees in the workplace.
Professionals trained and certified in a specific category can undertake specified projects and responsibilities, and also have the opportunity to progress and achieve a higher ranking. It has to be understood that the individuals trained at different levels in the organization work in teams within the specified parameters denoted by the color or level of their belt training. Each individual has a specified and important set of responsibilities to contribute to improvement in the system, and therefore, also the organization as a whole.
A Yellow Belt is the lowest recognized level of Six Sigma Training when it comes to training, knowledge, and experience. The Yellow Belts will work as team members and will carry out tasks they are given by their superiors. The green and black belts will depend on these qualified team members to perform tasks using the DMAIC (define, measure, analyze, improve, and control) and DMADV (define, measure, analyze, design, and verify) models. They will review, analyze and suggest improvements for the projects they work on. They have no authority to lead but will have the knowledge and skills the leaders need to successfully perform whatever is needed from them for the project to be successful as a whole. They are essential to the success of a Six Sigma Project team, and are indispensable to the company as a whole.
Many people that achieve this level usually continue to a higher level not only for their own knowledge, but for increased value in terms of skills to list on a resume. However, if you do want to go for the yellow belt, you will have to have a strong understanding of the Six Sigma style. Yellow Belts learn the very basics of the Six Sigma Methodology so that they can act as support staff members to Green, Black, and Master Black Belts. They are vital team members who will carry out the tasks assigned to them by the team leaders, although they only are support level individuals in terms of the Six Sigma hierarchy.
The next level of certification is the Green Belt, who will work either independently as a team leader. The Green Belts are assistants to the Black Belts, executives and champions on large scale projects. When qualified, Green Belts, guided by Black Belts, will generally work on smaller projects within their area of knowledge. They are a group of professionals who will help to collect data, analyze it, and gather results. They will make decisions based on the level of their authority for that particular project. They use proven and well-researched statistical results to suggest possible changes and improvements to the way the organization is run.
The Green Belts are the individuals who do most of the actual ‘six sigma work’ within a company. They are often in charge of mentoring Yellow Belts. Green Belt training includes schooling in the basic elements and principles of the system, as well as becoming familiar with relevant statistical tools and methods. People with this certification are often referred to as worker bees because they do the majority of the work during projects. They also do a majority of the experiments and tests throughout the project. The main goals of a green belt are to ensure the success of the training techniques and lead smaller improvement projects. Just like the yellow belts below them, people with green belts must have a strong understanding of what the Six Sigma training is all about.
At the top, the Black Belts, who are considered to be the project leaders, will have the most experience and the most knowledge as far as the Six Sigma Methodology goes. Black Belts have undergone more extensive training in which they have achieved a considerable degree of mastery in the Six Sigma tools and methods. These employees take on leadership roles and responsibilities which are appropriate to their higher level of expertise, experience, and knowledge gained. Most of the time, Black Belts are the people who are asked to take on the project leadership and management tasks on a full time basis.
Black Belts will lead groups on projects, delegating and ensuring that all necessary tasks are completed efficiently and on time. Black Belts are responsible for the smooth functioning of projects and plans under their watch. They will also help Green Belts run their own small teams and projects by acting as mentors. They are responsible for the majority of work that will be done. Black Belts will make the decisions on who works on what and when. They will set deadlines and goals, and will work with the team members to meet deadlines.
Along with heading the project, Certified Black Belts also are expected to coach, develop and advise other managers so the entire company can achieve this goal. They are in charge of the teams and training others to be leaders of teams. In addition to their thorough understanding of the Six Sigma Methodology, Black Belts benefit from having an excellent knowledge of human behavior and how teams work in order to lead them effectively. Black Belts should be intuitive and able to work well with the members of the team. Spotting talent and skill strengths in their team members is valuable so that they can correctly assign duties to those who will most successfully accomplish the project goals.
Note: Just as any educational achievement, your career prospects of being Six Sigma Certified is extremely dependent on several factors. Location, previous experience, industry type, etc. all will play an enormous role.
This is an advanced level program that requires successful completion of our Black Belt Certification Program and several project requirements. For those seeking this achievement, please refer to the bottom of our Black Belt Certification page.

As one of the most established and longest running providers in the industry for online Six Sigma Training & Certification, we have had millions of people just like you weighing our training against the competition. Here are just a few reasons why many prospective training candidates who have performed their due-diligence have chosen to trust us with their educational needs.
Not only is our organization accredited by The Council for Six Sigma Certification (the largest industry accreditation provider to colleges, universities, and private training organizations worldwide), but we also share some of the same original founders. This speaks volumes to our heritage and our underlying commitment to quality education and consumer value. Many providers come and go, but we have remained a trusted industry pioneer.
Six Sigma Online was among the very first to offer online-based Six Sigma training and certification. Over 150,000 certified graduates from the Americas to Asia to the Middle East have trusted our accredited programs to enhance their careers.
Our clients range from multi-national corporations like Coca-Cola and BP to Government Organizations like the US Department of Defense.

Unlike many Six Sigma Certification providers, we never put an expiration date on your certification.
Many providers require renewals not so much to benefit their certified students, but instead to increase their own revenues.
This can be extremely lucrative for them as they force you to pay extra exorbitant costs over the course of your entire career. Even worse, these costs are often hidden the details of the expiration in fine print. It is not uncommon for a student to be shocked with this information only AFTER they have earned their achievement and see their final certificate.
Think about it… does a college degree come with an expiration date? Neither should your Six Sigma Certification.
Rest assured that our training is well recognized in the business community and we take the needs of employers very seriously. Many other training providers certify their students without a serious attempt of teaching thorough and lasting fundamentals of Six Sigma business methodologies. Our programs were designed to offer the most flexibility while still retaining a rigorous course-load. Every Six Sigma course offered by the Aveta Business Institute is self-paced.
Our programs have been used throughout the world by some of the largest companies… our certifications are very well respected. Below is a short list of Six Sigma business clients that have benefited from having their employees enrolled into our online program:
Your life can become unexpectedly busy and stressful… we aren’t looking to make things even worse by imposing unrealistic deadlines.
Since our courses are designed for individuals whose schedule demands a self-paced approach, you decide when to take your exams. There is no “set” scheduled online class time (or date). Our courses were designed to fit around your busy lifestyle.
Our students have 12 months from the time of payment to complete all of their certification requirements. However, even if you require more than 1 year to complete your program, course extensions can be requested at any time before your deadline from Customer Care (free of charge).
We offer the same quality Six Sigma training you will find at many top universities.
However, many of these leading collegiate training providers have a problem. They offer both classroom-based and online-based programs.
Classroom-based training is much more expensive for these providers since they have to pay for facilities, full-time instructors, travel costs, etc. When asked to justify the higher price, their only real justification is that since an instructor speaks to an entire class, you would have learned significantly more than if you would have read the same material yourself (even though U.S. Department of Defense studies have shown that online training proved to be more effective in courses of greater complexity than classroom-based instructor-led training).
Let us not also forget that in a classroom environment, students are rushed through their programs (and often not given a chance to absorb the material) due to strict time constraints. Most importantly, students are not provided a way to easily reference the material later (it is only natural that students will forget pieces of what they have learned as time goes on).
This reasoning makes learning Six Sigma in an online environment HIGHLY preferable to classroom-based training.
In a perfect world, this shouldn’t matter since many respected colleges and universities also offer online courses. Often, these colleges and universities keep their online prices inflated to help subsidize their classroom-based programs. This is why you will see our same program sold for double or triple the price elsewhere.
We would much rather keep our prices honest and pass the savings directly to you.
Originally developed by Bill Smith at Motorola in 1986, the Six Sigma Training program was created using some of the most innovative quality improvement methods from the preceding six decades. The term “Six Sigma” is derived from a field of statistics known as process capability. The term 6 Sigma refers to the ability of manufacturing processes to produce a very high proportion of output within specification. Processes that operate with “six sigma quality” over the short term are assumed to produce long-term defect levels below 3.4 defects per million opportunities. Six Sigma’s goal is to improve overall processes to that level of quality or better.
