Expert-Led. Industry-Trusted. Built for Real-World Impact.
Six Sigma Global Institute (SSGI) is a U.S.-based training and certification provider delivering expert-led programs in Lean Six Sigma, Process Improvement, Operational Excellence, and Business Management.
Our programs are developed under the leadership of Dr. Barry Shore, a McGraw-Hill award-winning professor with over 40 years of experience in operations management, process improvement, and organizational performance.
We exist to develop capability, not just credentials.
Our certifications are trusted by professionals, organizations, universities, and government agencies worldwide because they are designed, developed, and governed by recognized experts, not anonymous content vendors or fast-track certification mills.

OUR APPROACH

At SSGI, we believe professional certification should mean something.
That belief shapes everything we do, from how our programs are developed to how certification decisions are made. Our goal is not simply to help learners pass an exam, but to ensure they build a practical, working understanding of improvement principles they can apply immediately in real organizations.
Unlike generic certification providers, SSGI programs are:
Expert-developed and expert-reviewed, not crowdsourced or outsourced
Application-focused, emphasizing judgment, context, and execution
Structured and rigorous, avoiding “paper belt” outcomes
Designed for scale, allowing us to make high-quality training accessible without compromising standards
Affordability is not our strategy.
It is a byproduct of building scalable, well-designed programs grounded in expertise.

SSGI is recognized as a leading provider of professional certification and training across industry, academia, and government.
We work with organizations and institutions that require credibility, consistency, and accountability, not just course completion.

Individual professionals advancing their careers
Organizations developing internal capability
Universities delivering accredited online education
Government agencies supporting workforce development
