How do you choose the right Lean Six Sigma certification level for your career goals?

Before you decide on the level of Process Design & Improvement proficiency you want to gain … check with your company to see if they have subscriptions to any learning providers. Many larger companies typically will have learning partners that offer courses for employees at no cost to you. They are part of your overall total compensation. Check with your HR department. If not try out the free trial of LinkedIn Learning, if you have not done so already, to explore what course offerings they have before paying for an outside introductory course. Trained and certified Lean Six Sigma practitioners provide great value to companies in all industries. Matt Rebeiro - Challenge the Status Quo #LeanSixSigma #lss #certification #training

Six Sigma Society has a free white belt certification! I found it super helpful to gain a baseline level of knowledge that’s been helpful across my consulting, product, sales, hr, and entrepreneurship roles. They also have a combo package with bulk discounts for the other belts! https://www.sixsigmasociety.org

Sugiro a todos que est?o come?ando a trajetória em Lean 6 Sigma que iniciem seu Processo pela forma??o como Green Belts, especialmente no Brasil. Mas o mais importante é que realize uma forma??o completa como aplicada no Mundo todo. Com duas certifica?oes: a primeira através de avalia??es técnicas em sala de aula com média 7,0 e a segunda, de Especialista com a realiza??o de um Projeto Prático realizado de acordo com os quesitos do 6 Sigma Academy.

The Green Belt is the way to go to get a good understanding of the methodology and tools. It also allows the practitioner to put this knowledge to work in real life projects immediately. Yellow and White are way too basic and rarely are they recommended for those outside the administrative part of a company.

Beware! Numerous online "institutions" have developed a business out of giving out "certifications", and many of them just require passing an exam and an overpriced $99 credit card charge. Employers can see right through this, hiring managers don't care if they see a "certification" on a resume. They only care about you having demonstrated you're able to get results by leading teams to make sustainable improvements. So rather than "certifications", I'd encourage you to think about what skills you need to succeed in your current or next role. You will follow an incremental journey. Instead of going for the highest certification possible, look for training courses and providers that give you what you need when you need it.

When I was on a placement with a previous company, an opportunity arose where they were training staff on the Six Sigma Green Belt, although I was on placement and not as beneficial to the company having the Green Belt, this opened my eyes further to the world of Lean Six Sigma and unraveled a passion for Continuous Improvement and improving certain areas such as Quality, People, Cost & Processes. I can only speak for the Green Belt Course that I went on but it was highly valuable and I try to take my learnings from this to apply to my professional career. Highly valuable to have this skill!
