Course Contents

Our Black Belt training provides all that is required for Lean Six Sigma implementation and project leadership.  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.

Thornley Group Black Belt training is targeted at people who run business improvement projects and/or have responsibility for managing improvement teams.  After attending the course and passing the written examination, a project of significant size is undertaken and delivered within a 4-6 month period.  At this stage the project is assessed and, subject to acceptance, a Black Belt certificate is issued.  Using their practical experience of improvement programmes, along with simulation exercises, our trainers can take candidates through the process of applying the tools and techniques that they learn.

After Completion of the training, candidates will sit a written examination. After successful completion of a project that delivers significant cost savings, defect reduction or other customer impact, Black Belt certification will be awarded.

100% attendance at the course is required to gain certification.
