Six Sigma Certification

Motorola Six Sigma Training

What is Six Sigma certification? What value does it add to my career?

Certification is a confirmation of an individual's technical competencies but the possession of certification does not automatically imply or confer the level of practical and applied experience or skill of the individual.

Furthermore there are many organisations providing Six Sigma training - as this is now a "gravy train" for consultancies and training companies - so certification with one organisation does not automatically imply total transferability to another environment with a different employer.

What is Six Sigma training?

As you might expect, Six Sigma certification involves learning the relevant subject matter, passing an exam, and demonstrating a degree of competency in a field environment.

The basic training materials are public domain and available from innumerable training organisations - invariably packaged up with the training company's "proprietary" classroom environment training.

Where the divergence of training standards (and thus the limitations of the transferable value of the certification) occurs is with constitutes an acceptable level of "in the field/hands on" applied practical competency.

To put it bluntly, it varies from one organisation to the next!

One organisation that does attempt to provide a standardised approach to six sigma certification is the IASSC - The International Association for Six Sigma Certification (IASSC) is a Professional Association dedicated to growing and enhancing the standards within the Lean Six Sigma Community.

Personally, I am not a Six Sigma practitioner, my specialism is the people side of implementing change, but if I was going seeking Six Sigma certification then I would "go to the horses' mouth"...
