We do have internal training and from time to time our boss sends us to get certificates from Villanova and Dartmouth.

Yes, I agree, most employers won't look at non accredited or ones with unknown accreditation.  Certification for Business/IT comes from the main or major players, in the case for 6sigma, Udemy, MSI, etc would be great for "learning" and starting off, but for proper accreditation, it needs to be from IASSC or ACQ.

In my opinion, Six Sigma has diminishing returns outside of manufacturing, and specifically high volume, process-based manufacturing. It's about process improvement, and reducing the amount of defects to less than a six-sigma (standard deviation). For service-based industries I don't believe it's that useful in practice, although I'm sure you can use some of the techniques.

Personally, I think white belts are fine for an introduction to the concept, but they're what I would expect from a supervisor or line manager that's either just starting out or just starting to work towards a management track. A yellow belt or ideally green belt are where you actually start to get good training and hands-on usage on the practices. If you're looking to stay in education, I'm not sure Six Sigma is helpful to you. If you want to transition to manufacturing, I would aim at a yellow belt at the least, and watch for accreditation as commented earlier.

Six Sigma may have started as a manufacturing thing but it seems to be an important buzzword for HR in many industries these days. They don't care what it means but, from what I have seen, may offer substantial pay increases to people who have it. It sounds fancy. It must be important.

That would be the first time I've ever heard of HR using something they don't understand as a measurement of a quality candidate.
