LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM

IASSC (International Association for Six Sigma Certification) and PEOPLECERT have solidified an exclusive partnership to provide global reach to a truly independent third-party certification within the Lean Six Sigma industry. The partnership, which originated in 2009, has brought significant growth to both the association, IASSC and Examination Institute, PEOPLECERT. The new agreement will bring mutual exclusivity that will further expand these best practices, making Professional Lean Six Sigma Credentialing even more accessible to professionals throughout the world.

IASSC is the market leader in Professional Lean Six Sigma Credentialing. With a world-renowned third-party Certification Program, the IASSC Black Belt, Green Belt, and Yellow Belt Certification exams aim to measure a person’s knowledge of the Lean Six Sigma methodology. Practitioners who have trained with any trainer, consultancy, university, or corporation are permitted to sit for an IASSC certification exam. The exams are based on IASSC’s Universally accepted Lean Six Sigma Bodies of Knowledge, which are used by hundreds of Lean Six Sigma organizations worldwide. In addition, IASSC provides four accreditations, also administered by PEOPLECERT: Accredited Curriculum Provider, Accredited Training Associate, Accredited Training Organization and Accredited Deployment Program.

“We’ve enjoyed an important relationship with PEOPLECERT for almost a decade now,” says Scot Shank, co-founder of IASSC. “PEOPLECERT provides valuable leadership and support in Certification best practices that lend integrity to the IASSC portfolio of industry-leading Certification and Accreditations. Together we have worked hard to standardize Lean Six Sigma qualifications and securely deliver them worldwide, which is a great benefit to both Lean Six Sigma organizations and practitioners alike. We are proud to extend our partnership with PEOPLECERT and their exceptional team of professionals, who have proven their commitment to IASSC’s success.”
