    General

    What is the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certification?

    The Lean Six Sigma Black Belt (LSSBB) is the advanced practitioner credential from IASSC, the International Association for Six Sigma Certification. It validates your ability to lead complex DMAIC improvement projects using advanced statistics, Lean tools and project leadership.

    It suits quality engineers, operations and process improvement managers, and continuous improvement professionals ready to lead larger projects. Green Belts looking to advance and consultants who want an independent, globally recognised credential also benefit.

    Do I need prerequisites for the Black Belt course?

    No. There are no formal prerequisites for the Black Belt exam, no required degree, work experience or prior certification. Training and real-world project experience are recommended but not mandatory, so motivated professionals can start when ready.

    How long is the certification valid?

    The IASSC Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certification stays current for three years from the date you certify. To maintain current status, you pass the recertification exam before the three-year elapse date.

    Pricing

    How much does Black Belt training cost in Wellington?

    Live virtual Lean Six Sigma Black Belt training fees vary by format and intake and are available on request. The certification exam voucher is billed separately by PeopleCert and varies by region. Speak with a learning advisor for current pricing and a tailored quote.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The training fee typically covers instructor-led sessions, comprehensive courseware, practice questions, mock exams, an exam simulator and post-training support. The exam voucher is purchased separately. Request a quote to see exactly what your chosen plan includes.

    Is the exam fee included in the training price?

    No. The certification exam voucher is billed separately by PeopleCert under regional pricing and is not part of the training fee. This keeps training and exam costs transparent. Ask an advisor for the latest voucher price for New Zealand.

    Exam

    What is the format of the Black Belt exam?

    The Black Belt exam is a closed-book test of 150 multiple-choice questions, each worth one mark. A reference document with the required formulas and tables is provided. Some exam forms include up to 15 additional unscored questions.

    Who governs the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certification?

    The certification is governed by IASSC, the International Association for Six Sigma Certification, which was acquired by PeopleCert in 2020. The exam is delivered online with proctoring or at Pearson VUE test centres worldwide.

    How long is the exam and what score do I need to pass?

    You have four hours (240 minutes) to complete the 150-question exam. The minimum passing score is 580 out of 750 points. Non-native speakers and candidates with a disability may be allowed an additional 60 minutes.

    Can I retake the exam if I do not pass?

    Yes. If you do not pass on your first sitting, you can retake the exam after purchasing another voucher. Our training, mock exams and exam simulator are designed to help you prepare thoroughly and pass with confidence.

    How is the exam delivered in New Zealand?

    You receive comprehensive courseware aligned to the Black Belt body of knowledge, practice questions, full-length mock exams, an exam simulator and reference templates. These resources help you revise efficiently and build exam readiness.

    Is the course practical or just theory?

    The course is highly practical. You apply DMAIC tools to real or simulated improvement projects, work through case studies, and practise the statistical techniques the exam and the workplace demand, so you can lead projects from day one.
