LEAN SIX SIGMA MASTER BLACK BELT CERTIFICATION
As a Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt, you can teach and certify your own Lean Six Sigma students and set up your own school. A master black belt degree follows after a regular black belt degree. You can also oversee and coach Lean Six Sigma black belts who lead projects. This trajectory involves private online coaching sessions and online examination by a commission. We offer two trajectories that both lead to the same Master Black Belt Degree:
​​
Trajectory A: You can get 5-10 online coaching sessions depending on your need. On top of that, you review online study material. This trajectory costs 1,999 USD.
​
Trajectory B: You get 2 online coaching sessions. The rest of the course is self study. This trajectory costs 499 USD.
​​
Given our limited capacity, we only accept 3 candidates per registration period and there is a candidate selection process based on letters of motivation. Please paste your motivation letter in the contact form below if you wish to apply and indicate which trajectory (A or B) you are interested in. Before applying, please review the questions/answers below.

The rest of the program is self-study of written materials and video lectures.
​​​​​​

​
Q: How does the examination look like?
​​
A: As a Master Black Belt you can supervise a project, coach others, but also train and certify candidates. These will be the skills that will be examined. During the trajectory, you construct a portfolio in cooperation with your assigned SSAA coach. In this portfolio you include little pieces of proof that you can run a full Lean Six Sigma project, that you can coach and that you can teach and examine in an effective and efficient way. The examination is then the appraisal of this portfolio by SSAA examiners during an online interview. For the time being, retakes are free of charge.
