The additional levels of certification provide confirmation of increased mastery of understanding and application of the BSC methodology and framework. The Balanced Scorecard Team Certification demonstrates an organization’s commitment to implementation and use of the BSC. This level of certification includes the benefit of ongoing engagement and support from the Lumen Institute and the broader BSC community.

The BSC certification levels include classroom and workshop instruction and the completion of an online exam. The advanced certification includes an additional formal presentation in the Leader course. The courses can be taken in a 1-2 week “Boot Camp” style program or at different times. Short courses, which provide the Certified Balanced Scorecard Individual or the Balanced Scorecard Certified Practitioner, were developed for students who may not want to pursue further levels certification or plan to get further certification in the future.

The Balanced Scorecard Team Certification and Balanced Scorecard Trainer Certificate are designed for individuals and organizations that plan to expand their use and deployment of the balanced scorecard.
