How will I receive access to the training material?

Does the certification state that the exam was taken online?
No it does not. Many organizations use online programs to certify and train their employees.

Why are SSGI prices so affordable?
Here at SSGI we have developed all of our training materials internally. Unlike our competitors who have to hire out third-party training resources, which results in increased prices, we can offer our programs for an affordable cost. Learn more about our competitive pricing.
Is there a central governing or official accreditation body for Six Sigma?
When it comes to Lean Six Sigma accreditation there is no official governing body. In fact, we urge you to do your own research on Google when it comes to specific websites that claim to be “official” accreditation or governing bodies for Six Sigma.
One credential that you should take into consideration, is Project Management Institute’s (PMI®) R.E.P. approval. This is one of the most trustworthy approvals in industry for any project management related training as providers and their curriculum must go through a strict review and accreditation process in order to get approved.
