Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt Certification
Fisher College of Business has partnered with MoreSteam to present an innovative Master Black Belt development program.
The program design employs a blended learning model that incorporates world-class instruction delivered in both the classroom and online. The training program covers the Master Black Belt body of knowledge and topics ranging from advanced DOE to Leading Change to Finance for Master Black Belts.
Once you successfully complete the training portion, you become qualified for the Master Black Belt Certification process.
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:

- Passing score on the Master Black Belt exam (80%)
- Evidence of coaching/mentoring experience on ten projects
