About ISO 18404

In 2015, the creation of ISO 18404 brought about a globally recognised benchmark for the Lean Six Sigma methodology. 

•    ISO 18404 defines the approaches organisations need to have in place to meet the required standards
•    With the ISO 18404 accreditation, companies will be able to check your competency against your certification 

What does an ISO 18404 certificate mean for me? 

Meeting ISO 18404 standards enable you to tell employers that you meet the single standard of Lean Six Sigma. 

Traditionally, ISO 18404 was a complex standard to meet. e-Careers, CEPAS and Bureau Veritas have now made it both simple and affordable. 

Meeting ISO 18404 competencies will go a long way in making you more valuable and employable in a wide variety of managerial roles.
