Train-the-Trainer

About the Program:

Train-the-Trainer is ASI’s most popular course. It is a fun and remarkably valuable course for anyone coaching or instructing Six Sigma professionals. The course is also a core requirement of ASI’s Master Black Belt Development Program because it provides critical instruction and practice in the delivery of Six Sigma training. And while much of the course is similar in content to traditional train-the-trainer programs, the curriculum is highly tailored to meet the needs of Six Sigma instructors.
