    Exam

    What is the format of the Black Belt exam?

    You have four hours (240 minutes) to complete the exam, with an extra 60 minutes available for non-native speakers or candidates with a disability. The passing score is 580 out of 750 points.

    What is the exam application process?

    There is no formal application or panel review. You purchase an exam voucher from the certification body, choose online proctored or Pearson VUE test-centre delivery, schedule your slot, and sit the 150-question exam. Training is recommended but not required to register.

    Are there prerequisites to sit the Black Belt exam?

    No. The Black Belt exam has no education, work experience or training prerequisites. Anyone can register, though completing structured training and applying the tools on a real project greatly improves your readiness.

    What topics does the exam cover?

    The exam covers the five DMAIC phases: Define (13.5%), Measure (21.5%), Analyze (26.5%), Improve (16.5%) and Control (22%), based on the IASSC Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Body of Knowledge.

    Course Content

    What will I learn in the Black Belt course?

    What learning resources and materials are provided?

    You receive courseware aligned to the Black Belt Body of Knowledge, practice questions, full-length mock exams, an exam simulator, reference formulas and tables, and topic-wise quizzes to reinforce each DMAIC phase.

    Are practice tests and mock exams included?

    Yes. The programme includes practice questions and full-length mock exams that mirror the 150-question, four-hour closed-book format, helping you identify weak areas and build exam confidence.

    Is the courseware aligned with the latest syllabus?

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to the current Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Body of Knowledge, structured around the five DMAIC phases of Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control.

    Can a beginner take this course?
