Is Six Sigma accredited?

Six Sigma itself is not accredited, as it is not an accrediting body or an institution. Instead, Six Sigma certifications and training programs are typically provided and accredited by organizations or institutions recognized in the field of quality management and process improvement.

Accreditation for Six Sigma programs ensures that the training and certification processes meet certain industry standards and quality criteria. Accredited programs are more likely to be recognized and respected by employers and industries. Accrediting bodies in the field of Six Sigma may include:

  • American Society for Quality (ASQ): ASQ offers accreditation for various Six Sigma certifications, including Black Belt, Green Belt, and Yellow Belt.
  • International Association for Six Sigma Certification (IASSC): IASSC is a globally recognized organization that accredits Lean Six Sigma certification programs.
  • Council for Six Sigma Certification: This organization accredits training providers and certification programs in the field of Six Sigma.

When pursuing Six Sigma certification, it's essential to choose a program accredited by a reputable accrediting body to ensure the certification's credibility and recognition within your industry. Additionally, some organizations may have specific preferences for certain accrediting bodies, so it's advisable to check with your employer or industry standards to determine which accreditation is most appropriate for your career goals.
