Overview
Six Sigma is a data driven methodology which uses statistical tools and techniques to systematically eliminate variation in business processes. The process variations usually result in defects and inefficiencies which impact customer satisfaction and business goals. Removing and/or minimizing process variations improves business results.
Students earning Statements of Completion in Six Sigma Business Improvement and Lean Business Improvement will earn an Associate Certificate in Lean Six Sigma Principles.

About Part-time Studies
Take a single course or work towards a credential — all at a pace that’s right for you.
Part-time courses are offered in a variety of scheduling formats, including at night or on weekends, flexible day time delivery, or you can opt for distance or online learning. If you meet the prerequisites and there’s space available, you can register for a course immediately. Courses are offered in each of three terms: Fall (September), Winter (January) and Spring/Summer (April).
Applicants to the BCIT School of Business are required to have completed 2 years of full-time study in high school or post-secondary program in English in an English speaking country. If you do not have English 12 and have not studied in an English-speaking country, you will need to demonstrate your skills in reading, writing, speaking, and listening.
