What Will Six Sigma Training and Certification Cost?

A: The cost for Six Sigma training and certification will depend on the belt color you want to train for, the organizations from which you get training and certification, and the particular Six Sigma methodology to which you subscribe. Since Six Sigma can be loosely defined by organizations, many variables can impact your expenses. Generally, you can expect costs and time requirements to rise in correlation with higher degrees of belt certification, and hundreds can be spent for training and certification for each employee.

What Are the Basics of the Six Sigma Concept?

A: At its core, the concept of Six Sigma provides a road map for excellence and near-perfection for a company's operations. Using data and statistical analysis, employers and employees can continuously improve upon a company's processes to produce fewer defects, experience fewer variables, reduce waste and costs, increase profits, and improve upon customer satisfaction.

For some businesses, the adoption of Six Sigma can influence the very culture of a company.

What Is Six Sigma Certification, and What Training Is Required?

A: Six Sigma training is intended to prepare professionals to take exams for certification, showing that they’re experts in these process management techniques. Training criteria can vary depending on whether professionals are preparing to test for Six Sigma or Lean Six Sigma certification and the particular belt color desired. While some organizations and programs bundle training and certification, it can be prudent and sometimes less expensive to get training from third-party providers. Eligibility requirements for certification can be contingent upon the belt color pursued and can include work experience, formal education, or official project completions.

What Is Lean Six Sigma, and How Do You Get Certification for It?

A: Lean Six Sigma is a methodology that seeks to improve the process of production and, ultimately, customer satisfaction. Adherents to the methodology regularly analyze business processes for unnecessary variances and waste using the mnemonic device “DOWNTIME.” While Six Sigma can focus on the manufacturing process, Lean Six Sigma can be applied to additional aspects of a business and can even affect a company’s culture. Earning a yellow, green, or black belt in Lean Six Sigma consists of two steps: preparing for the certification exam (often by taking courses like ours) and passing the test, which is administered by a third-party credentialing organization.

A: There are many reasons to consider getting Lean Six Sigma certified. This type of certification can help you stand out from other candidates when applying for jobs, and it can also help you improve your current job performance.

Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to get certified is up to you. If you feel that certification could benefit your career, then it may be worth the investment. However, if you are already performing well in your role and don't feel that certification is necessary, then you may want to forego the extra expense.

A: Six Sigma is a quality management strategy that has been adopted by many businesses in recent years. The popularity of Six Sigma can be attributed to its proven track record of improving quality and efficiency in organizations.
