I've been offered the opportunity to undertake a Six Sigma 'black belt' course. Would this be something that I could do part-time (weekends and evenings) on top of an already demanding management position? I am also considering asking for Prince2 F&P which I believe should be easier, albeit a damnsight slower paced and less... 'stimulating'.

I don't expect much benefit will come from either course, but will definitely be good CV jewellery for the future.

What are your thoughts please?
 
I would snatch their hands off, personally. Black belt is the top level Six Sigma course above Green and Yellow. I'm in production engineering where it's very well respected, though lots of companies don't follow the methodology properly when they should, in my experience.

I think you would be able to do it part time. Presume you're in project management of some sort if you're asking for Prince2 also?

As Fusion says go for it. I'm pretty sceptical regarding the usefulness of the whole LEAN and Six Sigma programme but it's in vogue at the moment across corporations across the globe and it's a good way to impress potential employers if/when you go for an interview or want promotion.

If you can become a practitioner that would open up some more doors for you as well, the last practitioner we employed charges us £7500+vat for 3 days work; we got him, his 2 assistants and some notepads so if you want there opportunities to go private if you so wish.
