Six Sigma: Lean Six Sigma Black Belt (Part 3) (Accredited) (Udemy.com)

Six Sigma Black Belt - P3 (Accredited) | Improve & Control Phase | Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Certification | Earn PDUs

Created by: Advanced Innovation Group Pro Excellence (AIGPE)

Last updated August 2026

Our take

Based on the ratings of 4,094 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in August 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is the final installment of AIGPE's Black Belt series on Udemy, and it only makes sense as the third step. It covers Phase 4 (Improve) and Phase 5 (Control) in 64 lectures across 15 sections, about 2.4 hours in all. The listing says the Green Belt course and both earlier Black Belt parts are mandatory. Finishing the set is what lets students apply for the optional AIGPE certification exam, which runs off Udemy and is free for the first two attempts.

Reviewers are warm about it. They call the material logical, organized and easy to follow, and they like the real-life examples. Two reviewers single out the quizzes as a good check on what they have learned. One reviewer credits Rahul Iyer with an interactive, easy to follow style, and another calls the teaching knowledgeable and the pace well judged. The sample has almost no criticism. Of roughly 4,100 ratings, 164 are three stars and 32 are one or two stars, so complaints exist but are rare.

The sections are short, often five to eighteen minutes, so topics like Theory of Constraints, SWOT, control plans and Total Productive Maintenance get an introduction, not a deep treatment. It was updated in August 2026, so it is current. For anyone already partway through the series, it is a quick, well liked finish. Starting here cold would be a mistake. Begin at Green Belt instead.

Best forStudents who finished AIGPE's Green Belt and Black Belt Parts 1 and 2 and want the Improve and Control phases to complete the set.
Skip it ifYou have not taken the earlier AIGPE belts, or you want deep statistics and worked projects instead of short concept videos.

Pros

  • Reviewers call the lectures organized, logical and easy to follow
  • Mini quizzes are praised as a useful check on what was learned
  • Short sections make the Improve and Control phases easy to finish in a sitting or two
  • Reviewers like the real-life examples and the steady pace

Cons

  • At 2.4 hours, each topic gets a brief introduction, not in-depth coverage
  • Three earlier AIGPE courses are mandatory, so it cannot be taken alone
  • The accredited exam is separate, off Udemy, and needs its own registration
Great class. I love the mini quizzes. They help you prepare with some studying.
Michael Paul Sepe, a student

Listed as expert level, but really for those who already finished Green Belt and Black Belt Parts 1 and 2, which are required.

It is one of the first tools that forces you to move from descriptive statistics (just describing the data) to inferential statistics (making decisions and predictions based on the data).

By Kiran Pawar on 3/11/2026

Content & Relevance, Practical Application and most important Trainer Effectiveness is super. Happy to undergo 6sigma BB training.
