In today’s global economy, a growing number of companies rely on process improvement to maintain quality and manage costs. The Six Sigma system has moved to the forefront because of its overall applicability in a wide range of business environments and for revolutionizing operations for companies such as Motorola and General Electric (GE). As the number of organizations employing the Six Sigma methodology increases, so does the demand for Green and Black Belt Six Sigma quality professionals. A Six Sigma Certificate could help you systematically increase the quality of an existing process with the basic Six Sigma DMAIC methodology, improving the performance of business management processes and helping to generate higher net income by lowering operating costs.

Unlike quality improvement efforts of the past, Six Sigma provides tangible business results and savings directly traceable to the bottom line. Help your organization do things better, faster, and at a lower cost.

Available positions for Six Sigma quality professionals, as well as the level of employment and salary, depend on the level of Six Sigma training you complete. Black Belts with at least one or two projects implemented are most in demand, followed by newly American Society for Quality (ASQ)-certified Black Belts. Because Green Belts are usually involved in the implementation phase of a process, their positions are often served by individuals from within the organization.

You could advance in myriad industries, including accounting, health care, human resources, distribution centers, information technology, enterprise resource planning, insurance, warehousing, logistics, retail, sales and marketing, manufacturing, and software development.*

The ASQ 2004 Salary Survey found that quality professionals with a Six Sigma certification (i.e., a Black Belt supervisor) earned 9.21 percent more than those without any certification.^† The average expected yearly salary for a typical Six Sigma Black Belt is $81,452.^‡
