Is Sixsigma tutorial an accredited institution?

Hi everyone,
My husband s interested in taking an online Six sigma blackbelt course.While surfing on net , he just discovered the below mwntioned site, which offers online black belt in six sigma in just 4 weeks n for less than 1000$.

http://sixsigmatutorial.com/Six-Sigma/Black-Belt-CBT/SSBB-Week1.aspx

I ve no prior knowledge abt this institution.Can anyone explain is it worthwhile to take a course from the above mentioned body ,are its certifications accredited in North America.I ll be highly obliged if any one could suggest any other site for six sigma certifications at an affordable price , with less effort and prerequistics.
thanks n regards

 

I would pass on that, I never heard of that institute before. Rather paying a little more money to get a certificate from actually university.

Villanova University offers Master Certificate in Six Sigma (all belts)

thanx Tekman for ur early response.I think its a reasonable choice althought the prices are a bit more than my range but still i ll give it a try.Can u or anyone recommend me some other accredited university/institution n still affordable.'
thanks

 

Not a problem, that is the only one that I can think of. Grand Canyon University used to offer Master and Certificate in Six Sigma, but I don't see on their site anymore.

 

Does he have his Green Belt? I found a good green belt course for $250.

 

- University of Notre Dame does offer a lean six sigma black belt course through moresteam LLC

- You can take the Six Sigma Black Belt exam offered throught the American Society for Quality. They also offer the six sigma green belt exam.

- Excelsior College offers a Black Belt Certification program

If what you are looking for is an online only six sigma course, verify that the program has no on-campus component. There are universities and colleges that offer blended on-campus/online six sigma programs.

 

Check out ASQ

Southwestern College has a certificate in Lean Six Sigma http://www.southwesterncollege.org/certificate-programs.cfm

 

How about this one?
http://www.expertrating.com/All-Six-Sigma-combo-certifications-list.asp
Six Sigma Green Belt + Project Management + Total Quality Management Certification Combo for 229.99
It depends what you are actually look for.....

 

From my experience ASQ is the industry standart in "blackbelting".
The problem is, that everyone can more or less issure six sigma belts since there is no institution protecting it.

 

Do you think it would carry more weight from someone like the ASQ (American Society for Quality) or a university?

 

I just came across this six-sigma from Villanova:

Randell - thanks for the link - I ended up doing this course and found it valuable.

 

You are welcome. I saved all the powerpoints and have used them a few times. I also purchased the book Six Sigma for Green Belts and Champions. It is a nice addition to my library.

 

Six Sigma

As a Marine about to retire here is my .02 cents of information on Six Sigma. I used to laugh at Marine Net ,and still do from time to time , but I am going to pass on some vital information to you regarding this topic. Go onto Marine Net and complete the Six Sigma courses that are offered then complete the CMQ/OE courses. If you have time do the 29 Project Management Professional ( 5th edition courses ) as well. They are extremely time consuming but full of knowledge. The best part is that they are FREE and do hold weight in the civilian world believe it or not. Keep a copy of all of your Marine Net training CERTS because civilian employers pay huge amounts of money to send civilians to the same training that Marne Net qualifies you for. I am telling you that there is no mercy in the civilian sector when it comes to jobs. Just like the USMC when you get briefed on board for promotion the same theory applies to a resume. This advice is absolutely free and so is Marine Net. The Six Sigma courses Villanova offers I exceptional as well ad of course holds more value than Marine Net but if you decide to go just be prepared . It is not an easy course. Again....my .02 Semper Fi.
