Six Sigma certification recognises competence in the Six Sigma quality improvement methodology developed by Motorola and later popularised by General Electric, using a martial arts inspired ranking of Yellow, Green, Black and Master Black Belt levels. Unlike a licensed profession, there is no single certifying authority: requirements differ widely between providers, from simply attending a course and completing one project to passing a formal written examination and documenting several years of practical application, with bodies such as the American Society for Quality among the more established issuers.
