There are no prerequisites for the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt training program. However, you will need to make the below-mentioned minimal arrangements before the commencement of the training program:

You will need a laptop with a copy of Minitab installed for the Black Belt section of the training program.

A 30-day trial version is available, and details of how to install this are included with your pre-training program reading materials.

Pre-install Minitab properly, as the 30 days must cover the duration of the Black Belt training program (please note that Minitab is currently unavailable for Macs).
