Six Sigma accreditation body for Africa & Europe
2KO Africa is widely recognised as the official Industry Standard for Lean & Six Sigma Accreditation in Africa. We offer accreditation and recognition of previous learning, and our certification is internationally recognised.
Companies in the Lean and Six Sigma space see us as the “Industry Standard in Africa”. Through a series of extensive bench-marking tests, our Lean & Six Sigma practices are regularly weighed against other top international accreditation bodies & well exceeds bench-marking requirements.
IASSC Certification is exam based, where industry primarily requires experience based certifications. Our students actually apply the learning and the 6+ month journey of certification is the evidence based part of the training and certification.
“If our students want to sit the exam, they are welcome, but it will require extensive preparation as it is a closed book 4 hour exam with a strong focus on advanced statistical analysis. It will give them an additional Certificate, but only evidence of ability to study and memorize material, not the ability to apply.” ~ Johan Claasen, senior Master Black Belt IASSC certified, SSSA.

Request may be ratified, if we are satisfied that the top standards have been met, or where not clear, candidates may be required to sit for our Six Sigma South Africa exam.
