****A little more detail on Six Sigma Certification and its Benefits***

What is the Six Sigma Certification?

Six Sigma is a strategically designed set of tools and techniques that help improve business processes within an organization. The primary goal of Six Sigma certification is to validate individuals (like you) who posses the skills to identify variation, defects or errors in a business process and mitigate or eliminate them.

The Six Sigma Certification comes in various skill levels: Yellow Belt, Green Belt, Black Belt, and Master Black Belt. These certifications can be obtained through an accreditation body like the American Society for Quality (ASQ), International Association for Six Sigma Certification (IASSC) or a Third-Party Independent Certification Authority that is globally recognized in over 151 countries like Advanced Innovation Group Pro Excellence (AIGPE).

These certifications also help you become a specialist in process improvement and will enhance your career's standard and credibility.

What is Six Sigma Green Belt Certification?

Six Sigma Green Belt is a certification course wherein you will receive hands-on understanding on 100+ tools and techniques. These methods are essential to participate in DMAIC improvement projects. DMAIC stands for Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve and Control. These are the 5 Phases of a Six Sigma Improvement project. This is the only course that teaches these 5 Phases in 15 structured steps helping you understand the entire methodology in thorough detail. By taking up this certification course professionals (like you) can identify the problems and implement solutions to eradicate them.

What are the Benefits of Six Sigma?

• Six Sigma helps your organization reduce variation and eliminate errors

An organization has several business processes. Each business process has its own, unique set of procedures followed by individuals working in that business. Acquiring Six Sigma certification enables YOU to become crucial to your organization's ability to identify and eliminate variation and repeatable process errors.

With a Six Sigma certification, you can help to transform and enable your organization to increase revenue by identifying and eliminating errors that would otherwise have brought poor customer satisfaction and losses to the business. Certified Six Sigma professionals can help reduce variation, errors, customer complaints, cycle time, cost, schedule delays and spending/revenue leakages.

For example: Between 1986 and 2001, Motorola saved 16 billion dollars using the Six Sigma methodology and General Electric (GE) saved 4.4 billion dollars between 1996 and 1999.

• Improve your business and sustain the gains

Once you attain the Six Sigma certification, you'll be able to prove you have the knowledge to identify gaps in an organization's business process and you will be able to measure, analyze and improve those gaps. You will also have the ability to conduct complete review of the current process and gain a very clear understanding of their impact on the output.

You'll also develop the ability to achieve exceptional improvements in your business and sustain them by monitoring processes closely to ensure there is little or no deviation from the mean and taking corrective measures to improve your implemented actions.

• Six Sigma is applicable across industries

What is the value of Six Sigma certification? As an industry independent methodology, Six Sigma techniques are applied in aerospace, electronics, telecom, banking and finance, IT, HR, marketing, and many more industries.

Getting a Six Sigma certification can lead to better job opportunities and improved salary - even though its not easy to attain. One of the reasons Six Sigma professionals get so much respect is that the practical applications of Six Sigma tools and techniques require creative and out-of-the-box thinking - and executives and hiring managers at major companies are well aware.

With a Six Sigma certification, you will be able to position yourself as a change agent within the organization, spearheading quality improvement throughout your team or organization, showcasing your leadership skillset. When you get certified in Six Sigma, you become knowledgeable in dozens of different methods to streamline business processes, improve employee acceptance, reduce costs, and increase revenue - all of which lead to better bottom line, no matter the industry.

As a professional, you need to adapt yourself to the changing demands of your industry. No matter what industry you are a part of, you need to learn to adapt your knowledge to different situations.

• Ensure Compliance

With the stringent quality standards of Six Sigma, manufacturing and service errors are reduced to less than mediocre figures. This has meant that a number of vendors, procurers, and oversight organizations apply Six Sigma standards when evaluating products or accounts. As a certified Six Sigma professional, you will be able to help your organization comply with international standards, as well as maintain profitable contracts.

• Improve Your Managerial and Leadership Ability

Six Sigma training also prepares you for leadership roles, with the techniques and knowhow to cut costs, increase revenue, and ways to improve the efficiency of the business process. Those who achieve Six Sigma Green Belt are not only educated on the methodologies of Six Sigma, they are also prepared to become a change agent within their organization, leading efforts to improve processes and the quality of products and services delivered to customers.

Once you complete your Six Sigma course and obtain your certification, you will have a clear understanding of measuring and quantifying financial benefits from executing any Six Sigma project. Because financial management and risk assessment are highly desirable skills for middle and top-level management, certified Six Sigma professionals stand a very good chance of rising to senior managerial positions.

• Mind-blowing Salary

According to a survey carried out by a well known Salary Analyzing website, the salary for Six Sigma certified individuals routinely break into the $100,000+ pay bracket, and are among the highest-paid professionals globally.
