When it comes to Six Sigma certification, companies take varied approaches – some leave the responsibility for certification completely on the Six Sigma professional, while others make the certification process an internal part of the company's Six Sigma initiative.
Overall, the results of iSixSigma's survey of certification show that Six Sigma practitioners are interested in obtaining certification for reasons that are not necessarily tangible.
Six Sigma professionals who are certified report they receive respect and admiration from their colleagues and increased job satisfaction from being certified, and are considered a more credible Six Sigma practitioner.
Throughout this report, findings will be compared to the similar iSixSigma research study conducted in 2007.
