For the Master Black Belt, candidates must pass a 50-question exam with a 90 percent or higher and submit two additional advanced projects that demonstrate Six Sigma application to food service operations.

No. Six Sigma certifications issued through the Council for Six Sigma Certification (CSSC) do not expire. CSSC believes renewal fees primarily benefit providers, not professionals. Much like a degree, your certification remains valid for life. You can retake the exam anytime to refresh your certification date or demonstrate recent achievements. All certifications are electronically issued and listed in the CSSC Official Register.
