IntroductiON
A Master Black Belt is a crucial leadership role within a Lean Six Sigma organisation. Master Black Belts are pivotal in directing an organisation’s continuous improvement programme and guiding others in the successful application of Lean Six Sigma methodology.
Certified to the exacting ISO 18404 standards, Master Black Belts provide training, coach and mentor Lean Six Sigma practitioners, lead improvement projects, identify and scope initiatives, and contribute their expertise in advanced statistics.
This comprehensive support ensures sustained project improvements, making Master Black Belts highly valued for driving continuous improvement and quality management within their organisations.
The course set-up explained
Each Master Black Belt programme is unique; tailored specifically to your current situation and prior experience.
In order to qualify for the Master Black Belt programme, you are required to have had at least two years of experience as a Black Belt, with a portfolio that demonstrates both your projects and your having trained others in the Lean Six Sigma methodology.
Your Master Black Belt programme starts with an intake, during which we assess your current knowledge and experience, and take a look at your project and training portfolios. Based on this assessment, we set up a personalised roadmap to get you certified as a Master Black Belt according to the ISO 18404 standards.
Once your roadmap is set up, it is time to begin your programme. This programme will consist of a series of activities to fill the gap between your current qualifications and those required to meet the vaunted standard of Master Black Belt. During the programme, you will be coached and supported by a seasoned Master Black Belt who will draw upon their considerable knowledge and experience to ensure your success at every step.
When all prerequisites have been met, you will be eligible to undertake the prestigious and laborious Master Black Belt exam. Before taking the exam you will be coached on any topics that require extra attention, so as to avoid any pitfalls and minor gaps in your knowledge
Upon successful completion of the Master Black Belt exam, you will receive your official certificate acknowledging your rank as a Master Black Belt according to the ISO 18404 standards.
Additionally, as a Master Black Belt certified by The Lean Six Sigma Company, you will be eligible to train and certify delegates using our official training materials, and upon request can gain endorsement as an official affiliate trainer.
Demonstrated Mastery
Our certificate represents achievement of the highest level of mastery in this field. It distinguishes itself for several key reasons:
• Demonstrated Mastery of Lean Six Sigma Principles: Unlike other certifications that may only signify participation, our Master Black Belt Certificate is awarded to individuals who have not only mastered Lean Six Sigma methodologies but have also demonstrated this expertise through the successful completion of real-world projects and training of others. This ensures that certificate holders are equipped with highly advanced practical skills and experience, making them invaluable assets to their organisations.
• Accreditation Based on International Standards: Our courses are meticulously designed and accredited according to ISO 18404 standards, which represent a comprehensive body of knowledge and underscore the rigor and depth of our curriculum. This ensures that Master Black Belts are not only certified to the highest standards, but they also train new Black Belts and Green Belts to these same exacting standards.
• Global Recognition and Industry Trust: Recognised in over 40 countries, our Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt Certificate signifies global applicability and comes with the endorsement of industry leaders worldwide. The extensive adoption of our training programmes by hundreds of organisations reflects a broad-based trust in our certification as a benchmark for professional excellence.
FiNancial details
Because the Master Black Belt programme is tailor-made, the length of the programme, intensity and amount of coaching vary per student. Therefore the price also differs from person to person.

Master Black Belts have transitioned from localiezd project leadership to CI leadership in general. They do not carry out projects personally anymore, which makes their specific contributions difficult to put a number on. Instead of projects, their leadership, project selections and coaching ensure that other Black Belt projects are always a success- which is not always a guarantee. Through their work, Master Black Belts help their team achieve cost reductions of approximately $8-12 million annually.

FAQ
Every course we provide assumes our students start the course without any understanding of the Lean Six Sigma methodology. It starts with the fundamentals and explains every topic that is mentioned without assuming prior experience. During the course, you will carry out simulations and exercises to help you develop your knowledge. If you choose to carry out a project as part of your course, you will be coached and assisted by one of the (Master) Black Belts of The Lean Six Sigma Company to help you get started.
This depends on your goals and what you intend to achieve. If you would prefer to employ Lean Six Sigma on a part-time basis, for example alongside of other work, the Green Belt course would be the best choice. If it’s your aim to work with Continuous Improvement and Lean Six Sigma on a full-time basis, then the Black Belt course would be the right pick. The same applies to Lean and our Lean Practitioner and Lean Leader course, respectively.
Lean Six Sigma is a methodology that one can start using during any career phase and this course is the ideal starting point. Even as a beginner, your work can add tremendous value. Lean Six Sigma can serve as an addition to your current work, replacing a part of your existing responsibilities. Or it can become a new full-time career, depending on the training you choose.
The Services course is most fitting for those employed in transactional careers such as general administration, logistics, finance, etc. The ‘Manufacturing’ course is most fitting for those involved with mass production, machinery, factories and automation). Of course, those who complete the Manufacturing course can still carry out projects in the aforementioned transactional fields.
The Green Belt course has very little statistics content, as opposed to our Black Belt course. Yet even the Black Belt courses have designed to start at the very basics, on the assumption that our participants aren’t familiar with anything related to statistics. We realise the idea of working with statistics can sound somewhat intimidating, but our trainers have helped thousands of professionals understand (and find their interest in) statistics. Additionally, we offer complementary courses and several videos on our MyTraining™ platform that will help you prepare for, or repeat, specific exercises.
The Lean Six Sigma Company strives to organise its courses during normal working hours.
This is a conscious choice in order to avoid interfering with the private lives of our customers and to them used to the idea of working with Lean Six Sigma during typical working hours, and continue this habit once they complete the course.
However, some local exceptions apply. Please reach out to to the helpdesk in your region if you have any questions
More information about our worldwide presence can be found on our theleansixsigmacompany.com worldmap page, here you will find in which countries we are currently active and offer courses.
The main difference is the scope of your projects. Green Belt projects are usually aimed at solving issues that affect a small part of a single department. Black Belt projects tend to tackle long-standing, complex issues that cross departmental lines. The responsibilities of a Green Belt align with those of a project manager. Black Belts carry more responsibilities and take a more active, leading role where they direct other Green Belts during projects.
Perhaps you are still in doubt which training is the right choice for you, or whether you should choose Lean or Lean Six Sigma. Let us help you with all your questions, so you can always make the right choice. Please do not hesitate to contact us.
