Executive Fusion layer: Black Belt mentoring focuses on the judgement the syllabus cannot teach on its own — choosing the right analytical depth, influencing stakeholders, challenging weak evidence and keeping complex projects commercially relevant.
The difference

More than watching course videos.

The mentoring sessions are there to help translate theory into practice: framing problems, selecting tools, challenging assumptions, interpreting data and deciding what to do next.

Need more support? Additional 1:1 mentoring is £150 + VAT per hour, or book three 1-hour sessions for £315 + VAT — a 30% saving on the standard £450 price.

How the pathway works

  1. Work through your ILSSI-accredited learning online.
  2. Use your included mentoring sessions when they add most value.
  3. Apply the methods to realistic or live business problems.
  4. Complete the appropriate ILSSI examination & certification included.
