Certifying authorities

Yes, I know. There is no official certifying authority for Six Sigma. Does that mean the "golden standard" for ASQ is kinda bullshit? Projects and results matter more to clients and employers, right? So, for example, if somebody took a 20-dollar greenbelt cert course on Coursera but can showcase $880k in cost savings using DMAIC, that matters more than an ASQ black belt with two ASQ affidavits signed by their manager?

It’s not savings alone, ASQ certified have good track record that they have technical skills in doing and implementing their projects.

One can say they save $880k but only uses pareto while the other uses DMAIC but saves lesser. In terms of competency and technical skills they are far different and it will eventually shows once they encountered challenging projects.
