What Is Six Sigma?
Engineering and production professionals around the world are passionate about Six Sigma. It is not a passing fad.
You want customers to trust what you deliver. Six Sigma helps you build great products and services they love.
Six Sigma is the most efficient and proven methodology for solving any problem and improving organizational and business performance.
Explore Six Sigma →Help Your Team Work Toward the Same Quality Goals.
Whether your team works with agile, lean or other processes, Six Sigma gives it a clear roadmap: meet and exceed customer requirements, increase business profit and minimize wasted resources.
When everyone shares the same vision, goals and quality standards, your team knows what it is working toward. Six Sigma builds that shared understanding through a structured, scientific and data-driven process and culture of organizational excellence. General Electric, Bank of America, DuPont, Toyota, Honeywell, Volvo and other companies increased profits by billions during the first years of their Six Sigma deployment.

Validity
Your achievement stays yours. Your certifications are valid for life and recognized worldwide, with no renewal fees or pointless subscriptions that do not serve you.

Six Sigma offers endless ways for companies to tailor its practices or combine them with other project, process, quality improvement, development and engineering frameworks to fit their needs and environment. That flexibility should not be confused with an evolution of Six Sigma itself.

A little over a year ago, I was given a link by a United States Army colleague for the Six Sigma Institute. This link was sent to many of us in hopes that we would take advantage of the opportunity. I looked into the programs and found them extremely user-friendly and very practical.
SGM Richard Riccio, 353d Civil Affairs Command, Staten Island NY, US Army
As a result, I decided to start with the Certified Six Sigma Yellow Belt (CSSYB) and Certified Six Sigma Green Belt (CSSGB) certification programs. From there, I eventually completed the other certifications as well.
Several months ago, while attending a military course at Fort Knox, one of the main instructors took about 20 minutes to explain these programs to the students in the class. He had also achieved Six Sigma certifications.
The main instructor explained to the class that: After he completed his Certified Six Sigma Black Belt certification program from Six Sigma Institute, he received numerous job offers that include a prestigious position at Amazon Incorporation.
It is no secret that the United States Army utilizes Six Sigma Certification Programs from International Six Sigma Institute™ on a regular basis.
It is cost-effective and gets straight to the point. I often tout this program to peers, and I will continue to do so.

First of all I want to thank for your site that I learnt quite a lot. I think, your content is very complete and gave us enough support to comprehend Six Sigma Methodology. Nowadays I am implementing Six Sigma Methodology in my project, and thanks to your training program I quickly realized where I am doing good, where I can further improve. Your program contributed huge benefit to my knowhow and experience.
Florian Hayes, Six Sigma Black Belt, Toyota
Wanted to thank your organization for providing this service!
Jill R. Hamel, Program Manager and Six Sigma Champion, Panasonic
I needed to get up and running quickly on Six Sigma and the online training and testing came very useful. I received all six certifications in one day, and I learned a lot.
Six Sigma is our in-house quality enhancement methodology, and it is the one nominated by most of our customers all over the world. As a consultancy & training enterprise, we have chosen International Six Sigma Institute to reinforce our own Six Sigma training programs. The strategy, of having such an excellent international partner like International Six Sigma Institute, has been proved as being the correct one to win more accounts and increase our customer satisfaction.
Jakob P. Denison, Chief Trainer, Infosec Consulting Services
Overall, this is my best online certification experience so far!
Ralph Dillman, Senior Principal Diagnostics Devices Engineering and Six Sigma Green Belt, Roche AG
The lifetime valid Six sigma Certifications from your Institute is really simple, easy and worth to its online registration, reading material and the test. The text and diagrams explain all aspects of Six Sigma very clearly leaving no room for doubts.
I got a thorough overview of the concepts which I'm rather sure of retaining (for lifetime!) and could relate to the real-projects well. As Consultants we have been doing projects along similar lines. The concepts tie these activities and roles into a Six Sigma Methodology that is more appreciated by the industry.
I wish International Six Sigma Institute many more such achievements in the future. Everything exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend International Six Sigma Institute to others who want to either complement their experience with certification or begin Six Sigma projects after certification.
Six Sigma is a highly efficient methodology to keep the teams always focused on the overall quality objectives and quality of project deliverables, and to drive the everyday tasks of quality management processes in line with the business objectives. International Six Sigma Institute assured us to have right and certified talents in our Six Sigma teams.
David K. Maloney, Vice-President, Six Sigma Deployment Leader, BP
Thanks for such a great online Certification Program at a reasonable price! It wasn't easy to find a tailored Six Sigma Certification Program which lets me prove my professional experience and personal education in Six Sigma era.
