Does anyone know which Six Sigma site is the "official" certification authority?
I have come across several but am not sure which is the genuine one.
Thanks in advance.

It's what one knows aor has practiced which will have value- not really the issuer of the certificate- if you are focused on understanding the 6 sigma methodology.

I realized that you can even get online 6 sigma certification now. That would be more cost effective also.

That's just it - unlike PMP or CMM, there is no single 'official' authority on Six Sigma. However, that being said, I would tend to stay away from the online companies that offer certification without having you actually manage a six sigma project at work (I like Villanova as a school but don't believe in their online six sigma program). Also, unless you work for a company that embraces six sigma, I probably would not advocate any training at this time. There is just no subsitute for working a six sigma project at work in a supportive environment. Hope this helps.

I almost forgot, you might want to do a serach on "six sigma" at this site and look at the various conversations that have already been had. Some of the questions, are similiar to yours.
