Is there a Master Black Belt certification?
A few exam bodies certify Master Black Belts, and their requirements differ, so we go through the options with you before the programme starts. Everyone who completes the 5 days receives an Agile Visa Certificate of Completion.
Many organisations also use the programme to set their own internal certification standard for every belt.
