Lean and Six Sigma deliver business goals and objectives through the rigorous application of proven improvement methodologies.Combining both these methodologies eliminates waste, increases value and reduces variation.

By focusing on the customer and delivering benefits quickly it is possible to improve quality performance and profitability simultaneously.

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 completing these 5 intensive days of training and passing the IASSC exam you will receive certification as a Six-Sigma Black Belt. 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. Access is also provided to our online video-based training that provides a further 16 hours of study after attending the 5-day course (plus the 5-day Green Belt).

Examinations

After Completion of the course, candidates will sit an IASSC exam. After successfully passing the exam, attendees will receive a Black Belt Certificate. It is recommended, for professional credibility, that candidates lead a project that delivers significant cost savings, defect reduction or other customer impact. Thornley Group will provide email support for 6 months after completion of the course to help candidates achieve this.

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.
