Supplement our Black Belt eLearning course and certification program with instructor support, coaching, and hands-on practice. This training model has been successful for our corporate clients for years and is now available to individuals and small groups.
Our hybrid program combines proven technology and personal interaction to achieve optimum results. Guided by our experience in working with thousands of corporate clients, we have developed an approach to develop the individual's capability to effect meaningful process change, not to merely pass a test or complete a case study.
We've designed this program to ensure your success. We put it all together for you.
From the Kick-off to the last Virtual Instructor-Led Study Hall, the program is 28 weeks in length. Candidates have a total of 18 months from the date of enrollment to achieve certification and have full access to the online content during that period.
At the start of the program, you will be assigned an instructor (Master Black Belt) who will be your primary contact regarding questions and certification requirements. As part of the program, you receive 5 hours of one-on-one-project coaching that is consumed as needed. Each coaching session is scheduled in advance and must be for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Training is followed by testing and verification of experience through 2 Black Belt projects. Black Belt candidates will begin their initial project in the early stages of the training. When all the requirements have been completed, you will be awarded certification through MoreSteam.
Participants must have certification complete within 18 months.
The enrollment fee covers all costs for the courses and materials as well as:
If you elect to use Minitab, program participants must have access to a laptop loaded with the latest version of Minitab.

How do I access the course?
You can access the course anywhere you can get on the Internet — simply login at MoreSteam.com from your computer, tablet, or phone.
When can I begin the course and how long does it take?
With eLearning, you can start at any time after purchase, however we do close registration two weeks before the Kick-Off Webinar. You do not have to wait for other students to get started.
From the Kick-off to the last Virtual Instructor-Led Study Hall, the program is 28 weeks in length. Access is provided to the online content for 365 days.
Candidates have a total of 18 months from the date of enrollment to achieve certification.
Are there prerequisites to this course?
This course has no prerequisites. Unlike other online providers, we do not require you to take any prerequisite course, Green Belt or other, prior to your Black Belt training. Our Black Belt course includes - as a subset - all of the material you would learn for a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt. If you have already taken MoreSteam's Green Belt course, contact us to request an upgrade to Black Belt.
Are there any course customizations for my industry?
This course is available in several "industry-specific flavors":
Manufacturing (default), Healthcare, Financial Services, and Services. Each version features customized case studies, examples and exercises. You can select your version when you purchase the program.
The virtual Study Halls and Workshop will present more service-oriented examples.
This course supports EngineRoom® or Minitab® (version 17 or higher) data analysis software. The subscription fee for EngineRoom® software is included in the price of the EngineRoom-supported version of the course.
When you enroll in the EngineRoom version, you receive 365 days of access to EngineRoom, MoreSteam's web-based data analysis tool to use along with the course and tutorials.
If you select the Minitab version of the course, you will need to purchase and provide your own license of the software.
Do I need a project to complete the training?
A real-world project will significantly enhance the learning experience because you can use it to directly practice the concepts and tools as you complete the course. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you work on your project as you are completing your training. You will also need to complete a second project to achieve certification.
Do I need to complete the eLearning to attend the "Study Halls" and Workshop?
Absolutely! This program requires candidates to stay on task. Before attending the Virtual Study Halls and Workshop, Black Belt candidates need to complete the defined eLearning lessons. Your coach will monitor your progress and you will be notified if you fall behind.
Do you offer pricing discounts for groups of trainees and deployments?
Of course! Many of our larger customers send groups of employees through the Blended Black Belt program. Please contact us directly to discuss your specific needs.
