Why Certification Matters
Professional certification exists to validate competence, not participation. Certification exams provide an objective measure of Six Sigma knowledge and judgment, allowing individuals and organizations to rely on a common standard of competency.
Lean Sigma Corporation exams are designed to assess knowledge at defined levels of responsibility, ensuring certification represents demonstrated competency rather than course completion alone.
