    "My biggest mistake in the beginning was working on projects that no one seemed to own or really care about too much...as I said, the defect and the improvements need ownership."
    Choosing A Project

    By Charles Waxer

    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.

    Jump To The Following Answers:

  • Can My Company Certify Six Sigma Yellow/Green/Black/Master Black Belts?
  • What Are The Legal Implications Of Six Sigma Certification?
  • Can Non-Certified Master Black Belts Mentor Black Belts?
  • Are There Other Certification Companies Besides Those Listed On iSixSigma?
  • What Are The Requirements For A Consulting Company To Provide Six Sigma Certification?

    Can Non-Certified Master Black Belts Mentor Black Belts?
    The answer is yes, but let me ask you a question. Would you want a non-certified dentist with years of experience doing your root canal? Or would you want a non-certified mechanic working on your car when you know that most mechanics are certified with biggest certification company in the U.S.? The fact is that both the dentist and the mechanic can probably do the job correctly without certification if they are properly educated, trained and practiced.

    But would you want them working in your mouth or on your car? Not me. The fact that some company (outside or inside) has set forth criteria, and that this person has taken and passed a test reassures me (to some degree). We know that not all certifications are equal, but I personally would prefer to be mentored by someone who has learned and used the Six Sigma DMAIC methodology before. Call me old fashioned.
