Questions
Black Belt questions, answered.
Do I need Green Belt first?
We strongly recommend it. Black Belt assumes fluency with core DMAIC tools and moves quickly into advanced methods. If you already lead projects day to day, you can start here — the first modules include a rapid review.
How is this different from Green Belt?
Green Belt makes you a capable project leader. Black Belt adds the advanced statistical toolkit (DOE, multiple regression, advanced SPC) and the leadership layer — coaching belts, selecting portfolios, and running the program itself.
How long will it take?
About 60 hours of material including the capstone. Most students complete it in 8–12 weeks part-time, with lifetime access if life gets in the way.
Does it include the exam?
Yes — the 150-question certification exam and one free retake are included, along with a full-length practice exam with worked explanations.
