My company is big into Six Sigma. As far as I can tell, the way to get a Black Belt is to go through the training and actually do a Six Sigma project that results in tangible cost savings for the company. The number I've heard is minimum $100K in savings to qualify for Black Belt, but I have no idea if that's a hard number or not.
If you Google Six Sigma Black Belt training you'll find all sorts of places that offer the training and certification, and you don't necessarily need the savings project to be done at your company in order to get certified. My impression is that the way to make big money doing this stuff is to do one or two big savings projects to hang your hat on, then shop yourself around as a Black Belt consultant to the highest bidder. Mostly you are looking at big companies (manufacturing, retail, logistics) as potential clients, so it helps to have some experience and domain knowledge in that area. I don't know if any of the big online businesses have gotten into Six Sigma or not.
