Hey folks, I figured I'd ask, does anyone know of any free or low cost certification programs for 6 Sigma certs? Villanova wants $7500 (last I checked) for their greenbelt program. Always looking for the best at the best price :-) Thank you for any help ad suggestions!

I stumbled across a free yellow belt course accredited by PMI: Why get certified in Six Sigma?
It's a decent introduction to Six Sigma. I don't think it's going to land any jobs by itself, but it's at least a small talking point on your resume. There's apparently a large contingent of people who look down upon the "white belt" certification as an unnecessary level below the introductory yellow belt course. dmjacobsen | http://donaldjacobsen.com Author, nurse, and all-around awesome guy MSN Executive Leadership - The University of Memphis - 2016 MBA Healthcare Management - Western Governors University - 2015

You post is sort of confusing. Your thread title states you are looking for free or low cost, but your second to last sentence says the best at the best price. Those are two different things. Are we looking for cheap or best cost?

PrLoko-isms Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently. Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end. Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example. Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work. Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.

Awesome, I hadn't even heard of this. Am now a white belt. Will take the yellow belt when my brain has recovered. It's stuff like this that companies just love to see on a cv/resume. It screams I'm a dynamic go-getter who keeps up to date with the latest business trends and methodologies. Never mind that it only took me 30 minutes to complete.

Would Santa Fe Community College's ed2go course meet your needs? It's $99.
"Learn how to effectively apply the elements and methods of Six Sigma. Understand how more than 25 tools and methods relate to the DMAIC (define, measure, analyze, improve, and control) model. Determine the relationship of basic statistics to Six Sigma and learn about the Six Sigma business case including strategic planning, the voice of the customer (VOC), quality function deployment (QFD), benchmarking, and financial investment methods. Discover how to use brainstorming, Pareto charts, and critical to quality help define processes, problems, and opportunities. Master the use of other key tools such as cause and effect diagrams, checksheets, scatter diagrams, failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), and force field analysis. In this six-week online course, you will learn how to apply the DMAIC model each step of the way. You'll learn how to define, plan, implement, and close a Six Sigma project. You'll also know how to use process capability and how to apply lean thinking. And you'll understand the basics of advanced Six Sigma tools such as sampling, design of experiments (DOE), analysis of variance (ANOVA), hypothesis testing, control charts, and probability distributions. This course will help you prepare for the internationally-recognized Six Sigma Black Belt and Quality Manager exams offered by the American Society for Quality (ASQÂ)."
