Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to complete each certification in order?

The certifications build on each other, but the only certification level with a prerequisite is Master Black Belt. You can enroll in Yellow Belt, Green Belt, and Black Belt training and certification programs anytime. If you pursue a certification level and would like to deepen your knowledge and advance to the next level, we can transfer your learning progress. Talk to us about your specific situation.

What is included with certification?

Each level and program is a little different. For Yellow Belt, you will get access to MoreSteam's online Yellow Belt course and Yellow Belt exam. For the self-guided Green Belt, you will get the online Green Belt course and exam, and MoreSteam's Lean Six Sigma project tracking software TRACtion. The blended program offers additional benefits including coaching, study halls, and a workshop. You will receive similar products for Black Belt as Green Belt. Master Black Belt includes several courses as well as in-person weeks at The Ohio State University.

What is MoreSteam's criteria for awarding certification?

Certification is awarded to those who complete MoreSteam's online training course, complete the appropriate project-work, and pass an exam at the minimum pass rate. Actual requirements such as number of projects and exam pass rate vary by certification level.

Do I need to complete training prior to enrollment in certification?

No. You can enroll in both at the same time. However, in the self-guided path to certifiation, you might want to start with training and add certification later when you have a good idea for a project. Remember, completing MoreSteam's online training course is a prerequisite for certification. If you choose to enroll in either the blended green belt or blended black belt training and certification programs, you will go through training alongside your cohort before completing the other requirements necessary for certification.

What if I don't have a project to work on?

You need to find one. Ask your supervisor for some ideas. What do your customers complain about? What are some metrics that your team misses frequently? Those are great sources for project ideas. If you are not working and don't have a workplace project idea, consider going to a non-profit organization or community organization. They may appreciate the extra help and you'll be making the world a better place.
