More Certification Questions and Answers »Can I Transfer Six Sigma Certification Between Organizations?
The answer is both yes and no. As with attaining a driver's license in a particular state in the United States, the main driving body of knowledge is the same and transferrable. However, certain laws vary from state to state, requiring an individual to learn the specific state laws and test within the state of residence. Six Sigma certification is similar in that certain requirements or variations will exists between businesses implementing the Six Sigma methodology. Some companies may also require you to re-certify to display competency.
Most likely a company will value an individual's certification if attained from a leading Six Sigma business, such as Motorola, GE and Allied Signal. The businesses that have only over the past few years embraced Six Sigma will also have value, but not to such an extent. Attaining certification from a second-tier consulting company will have even less value in the future, and finally being trained without certification will have the least amount of value.
