Free or low cost Six Sigma White/Greenbelt Certification?

[dfrecore]

Yes, I have a six sigma green belt... so there is such a thing. A lot of healthcare organizations want you to be certified in LEAN or Six Sigma certified - and they prefer a black belt.

I agree that it's a "thing" but I would not spend a lot of money on it unless it was a requirement, and possibly if your company had a specific place they wanted you to get it. Like I said, unlike IT industry certs, there is not one specific company that offers it, so quality may vary. A lot of companies that want this also send their people through it at their own cost, so everyone has the same training.

Here's what it says on Wikipedia: "Criteria for Green Belt and Black Belt certification vary; some companies simply require participation in a course and a Six Sigma project. There is no standard certification body, and different certification services are offered by various quality associations and other providers against a fee."
