Whilst building on the central DMAIC and Lean principles, the focus is on team and project management along with advanced statistical tools and data management.

This consists of a review of the video from each session, completing problem worksheets and taking quizzes. |
Thornley Group Black Belt training is carried out by professional trainers who are experienced as senior management practitioners in both Six-Sigma and Lean. After completion of the training, you will have a detailed knowledge of how to apply the learning and you will be able to deliver significant benefits in a structured way.. This course is designed to follow on from the Green Belt.
Prior to taking the exam, there is a further 40 hours of study using your course manual and our online testing which will enable you to study all the subject areas, in a structured way, right up to your exam date.

Content Topics
Examinations
- Candidates must have been trained to Green Belt level prior to attending (this will require verification prior to attendance). Attendees who have been trained by other organisations may attend and take the exam but, due to the inadequate coverage seen in some training provider content, we cannot warrant that your prior-learning is adequate for the Black Belt Exam.
- Candidates must have a knowledge of algebra and be used to analysing numerical data (i.e. Green Belt).
- Candidates should ideally have the authority to work on a project in their organisation as this will improve the credibility with prospective employers. This should be a cost saving, defect reduction or other customer impact project. Thornley group will provide a simulation case-study where this is not possible.
