The Academy offers an independent certification service for all levels of Lean and Six Sigma experts.
The programme is based on a skills-matrix developed by consultants who have identified the ingredients
for success across a wide variety of industries.
The certification process uses a mixture of formal examination and project review to assess abilities
against a number of key competencies, ensuring that both the theoretical and the practical application of the methodology
is evaluated. It includes reviews of the applicant's performance in leading real projects. Although not exclusively
designed for people who have been trained by the Academy, the process is designed to build upon a structured training
programme.
Certification provides independent recognition that the individual has demonstrated proficiency in
and comprehension of the Lean and Six Sigma methodologies. The programme has been carefully designed to be equally
applicable to manufacturing and service environments with the aim of establishing a new level of consistency and a
recognised national benchmark.
