What is a Black Belt?
Master Sustainable Process Improvement
Experienced managers, supervisors and process
improvement project leaders often reach a point
where they want to progress their skills and take
their process improvement capabilities to the next
level.
This is where Black Belt certification comes in.
Lean Six Sigma Black Belts have thoroughly
mastered sustainable process improvement at
every level.
This guide will give you an overview of the
benefits and characteristics of successful Black
Belt practitioners. It will also outline the black belt
training and certification process.

5 Key Benefits of Becoming a Black Belt
Lean Six Sigma Black Belt personnel
are identified as “go-to” achievers in
any organisation.
Having achieved proficiency in
process improvement, ideally but
not essentially at Green Belt level,

challenges at Black Belt level.
Progressing to Black Belt level enables
you to acquire the “sweet fruit” of high
level improvements and savings.
Our Black Belt programme leads to a
respected, international certification,
giving you flexibility to travel or to
work with multi-national organisations
in any industry.
Black Belt certification enhances your
career prospects, as practitioners
at this level are in demand in every
sector.

Who is this Black Belt programme designed for?
There are some eligibility requirements for this course and certification. Black Belt training is for those who have plenty of experience both leading and implementing process improvements in an organisation.
It’s a natural next step for people who have achieved a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt certification, and built experience upon this certification.
If you are completely new to the concept of Lean Six Sigma, or have very limited experience working with process improvement, we recommend our Certified Lean Six Sigma Green Belt for Business.
Need advice about your eligibility status?
