    Do I need a Green Belt before taking the Black Belt?

    No. There are no prerequisites for the Black Belt. A Green Belt or prior project experience is helpful but not required, so you can enrol based on your goals. Training and real-world practice are recommended to prepare for the advanced statistical content.

    Exam

    What is the format of the Black Belt exam?

    It is a closed-book exam of 150 multiple-choice questions covering the five DMAIC phases. A reference document with formulas and tables is provided. Some forms include up to 15 additional unscored questions. It is delivered online proctored or at a test centre.

    How long is the exam and what is the passing score?

    You have four hours (240 minutes) to complete the 150 questions, with extra time available for non-native speakers. The passing score is 580 out of 750 points, so aim for broad mastery across all five DMAIC phases.

    What is the exam application process?

    The exam follows the official weightings: Define 13.5%, Measure 21.5%, Analyze 26.5%, Improve 16.5% and Control 22%. Analyse and Measure carry the most weight, so plan extra preparation time for the advanced statistical content.

    What happens if I do not pass the first time?

    You can retake the exam by purchasing another voucher, and our preparation resources help you target weak areas before you resit. Selected training plans include retake support, so ask about Flexi options when you enrol.

    Course Content

    What topics does the Black Belt training cover?

    The training covers all five DMAIC phases: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control. You learn project scoping, measurement system analysis, hypothesis testing, regression, design of experiments, Lean tools and statistical process control, mapped to the official Body of Knowledge.

    Can a beginner take this course or do I need experience?

    The Black Belt is an advanced course, so prior exposure to process improvement helps, but there are no formal prerequisites. The training builds from fundamentals to advanced statistics with guided practice, so committed learners can follow it with the support provided.

    Are practice tests and mock exams included?

    Yes. The programme includes practice questions, full-length mock exams and topic-wise quizzes aligned to the 150-question closed-book format. These help you identify weak areas and build readiness before exam day.

    How many training hours does the programme include?
