Why these credentials are trusted

Every level in the Lean Six Sigma family shares the same assurance model.

QA Verified

Every programme in this family passes an automated quality rubric before it can be published — checking accuracy, coverage and assessment integrity.

Human SME sign-off

A subject-matter expert reviews and signs off each published version. The public 'QA Verified' badge only shows while a valid sign-off is pinned to the current version.

Human-confirmed assessment

Where a level uses a project assignment, AI produces a recommended grade against a fixed rubric and a human reviewer confirms or overrides it — AI never issues a credential on its own.

Public credential verification

Each credential carries a unique ID and a public verification page that anyone can check — no account required.

Verifiable Level 3 credential

Each level awards a standalone, verifiable Level 3 credential you can prove to employers.

What does Level 3 mean?

Every credential in this family is pitched at Level 3 depth — comparable to SCQF Level 6 in Scotland and EQF Level 4 across Europe. It reflects the depth of guided learning and assessment, giving learners across the UK and Europe a clear point of reference.

Lean Six Sigma questions
