When choosing a Six Sigma certification, credibility matters.
Employers care less about completion and more about whether the training builds real, applicable capability.
At Six Sigma Global Institute (SSGI), our programs are designed to develop professionals who can apply improvement methods confidently in real organizational environments, not just pass an exam.
Not All Six Sigma Certifications Are Created Equal
As more providers optimize for speed, automation, and surface-level credentials, understanding what actually builds real capability matters more than ever.

Why SSGI Programs Are Accessible Without Sacrificing Rigor
SSGI is able to offer high-quality, expert-developed certification programs at accessible pricing because our curriculum is designed and delivered in-house.
This eliminates third-party licensing fees and royalty structures that often inflate costs without improving learning outcomes.
We apply the same Lean principles we teach: focused design, efficient delivery, and investment where it matters most, curriculum quality and learner capability.
Our goal is to make credible, career-building education accessible without compromising standards.
Understanding Six Sigma Credentialing
Unlike PMI® for Project Management, there is no official governing body for Six Sigma.
Unlike project management,
Six Sigma does not have a single global governing body
.
As a result, professionals should evaluate certification providers based on:
- instructional quality
- expert accountability
- industry recognition
- alignment with professional standards
One widely respected indicator of rigor is
Project Management Institute (PMI®) Authorized Training Partner (ATP)
approval, which requires providers to meet established standards for curriculum and instruction.
SSGI holds PMI® ATP status, reflecting our commitment to professional-level training.
