CSSC Black Belt & Master Black Belt Certification Comparison Chart

 

Years ago, a true Six Sigma Black Belt Certification required multiple projects to be completed.  However, over the years many this requirement began disappearing; primarily because it was more profitable for training providers to skip the requirement.  Easier requirements simply translate into higher enrollments.

To bridge the gap that has been caused by many training providers in the industry, we offer several intermediary steps that allow people to obtain a more highly respected achievement from a officially recognized organization.
