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 training 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.
