What is the Council for Six Sigma Certification?
The Council for Six Sigma Certification (CSSC) is an independent third-party certification body. It sets minimum standards for Six Sigma and Lean Six Sigma certification, so that a certified person has covered the full body of knowledge for their belt and has met a minimum standard of proficiency.
CSSC reviews the training and certification providers it accredits against a 153-point checklist, and continues to monitor them after approval.
MBizM Sdn. Bhd., which runs Six Sigma Malaysia, is a CSSC Accredited Six Sigma Training and Certification Provider.
