Important Update on Professional Registration Policy
The Six Sigma Institute (SSI) is pleased to announce an important enhancement to its Professional Registration framework. In September, SSI introduced an accreditation upgrade in collaboration with the Council for Six Sigma Certification (CSSC), applicable to all Six Sigma certification levels—Yellow Belt, Green Belt, Black Belt, and Master Black Belt.
To align with this new CSSC-accredited certification and to further elevate the quality and global recognition of our credentials, SSI will implement a revised professional registration policy, effective 1 January 2026. Existing lifetime professional registrations remain valid, applications will continue to be accepted until December 15, 2025, and starting next year, the new application terms will maintain the one-year option and introduce a new three-year option.
This update reflects SSI’s commitment to upholding the highest standards in Six Sigma certification, ensuring alignment with global best practices and industry-recognized benchmarks.
專業註冊政策的重要更新
六式碼學會（SSI）很高興地宣布其專業註冊框架的重要更新。在九月，SSI與 CSSC 合作推出了一項認證升級，適用於所有六式碼認證級別——黃帶、綠帶、黑帶和主任黑帶。
為了與這項新的CSSC認可認證保持一致，並進一步提升我們證書的質量和全球認可度，SSI將於2026年1月1日實施修訂的專業註冊政策。現有終身制專業註冊保持有效，申請將繼續受理至2025年12月15日，且明年起新申請年期將維持一年制並新增三年制。
這一更新反映了SSI致力於維持六式碼認證最高標準的承諾，確保與全球最佳實踐和行業認可的基準保持一致。
