8:Is Vector International an accredited Lean Six Sigma training organization?

Yes. Vector International is accredited as a Lean Six Sigma training provider by the International Association for Six Sigma Certification (IASSC).

ASSC™ Accreditation does not constitute its’ approval or recognition of our own lean six sigma certification program. The only method to earn an IASSC certification is to successfully sit for and pass an official IASSC certification™ exam. Currently, we do not  administer or provide access to IASSC Certification exams.

“IASSC is the only independent third-party certification body within the Lean Six Sigma Industry that does not provide training, mentoring and coaching or consulting services.”- IASSC
