Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt Certification

Our Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt development program is Blended Learning that integrates:

• Two one-week sessions of classroom instruction - one week on the campus of The Ohio State University, one week at MoreSteam headquarters
• Two weeks of online learning on advanced topics provided by MoreSteam.com
   

The classroom sessions are independent and scheduled on a quarterly basis at OSU, allowing participants to enroll in the program and start the on-campus sessions in any sequence.

Program participants access and complete the online components at their own pace during the intervals between on-campus sessions. The faculty is provided by Ohio State’s Fisher College of Business and MoreSteam.com.

After you complete the training program, you can begin the certification process. This process entails a review of evidence demonstrating your capability and experience as a Master Black Belt. Successful certification candidates receive certification as a Master Black Belt from The Ohio State University.

To be eligible for the certification process, you must meet the following criteria:

• Certification as a Black Belt from a reputable source
• Five years of process improvement experience, including three years as a Black Belt
• Completion of the Master Black Belt training
  

We will award certification upon satisfactory review of the following:

• The candidate’s portfolio of project work, which must include at least five projects
• An oral interview
• Passing score on the Master Black Belt exam (80%)
• Evidence of coaching/mentoring experience on ten projects
• Presentation or publication in an external venue, either in person (such as a conference presentation) or in a written work (such as in Six Sigma Magazine or the like)
