Six Sigma certification questions continue to roll into my inbox. While I can't find time to answer each email with a tremendous amount of detail, I can and do save them for answering in an article such as this. This article revisits a previously published article What is Six Sigma Certification? published last year. If you find a question missing or would like clarification on a specific topic, please submit it along with any thoughts you have.

What Are The Requirements For A Consulting Company To Provide Six Sigma Certification?

Are There Other Certification Companies Besides Those Listed On iSixSigma?
Every time I visit the Consultants > Six Sigma category of links, I find a new consulting company that has been added to the list. Although the list is very comprehensive and includes all of the big Six Sigma consulting firms, it probably isn't exhaustive. New consulting companies are formed daily and I'm sure a few of them deal with Six Sigma, and even certify.

So the answer to this question is also Yes. There are other companies that are not listed on iSixSigma that would certify your company and employees. But you should refer back to my previous answer to determine the differences between certifications.
