Anyone six sigma?

If so, did your company pay for the certification and if so, how did you sell them on paying for it?  I am interested in pursuing it, mostly because it will look good on a resume and also because my company is going WCO in the next few years and feel it could be beneficial, but I am not sure if it is worth the time and money to pursue it on my own.


Thanks


Also, thinking of Aveta or Villanova distance learning, as I live in the boonies and there is no place offering certification seminars here.

    Our company has it's own training and certification process. All engineers are required to get the basic training which I did years ago. People interested in pursuing jobs in our quality organization generally will complete all levels of training.

    If you truly think it will benefit your company I would outline on paper how and what positive impacts it would have. Hopefully, you could estimate, or project a cost savings to your company to support them paying for the classes/certification.

    My company also offers reimbursement for continuing education that you can show will be applicable to your current job/role. But it is only granted if we don't internally offer similar classes/training.

    Yeah. . . I didn't have to sell my company on six sigma because they were all caught up in the six sigma craze and they signed me up. Now all the six sigma-dazzled managers are gone and we're all crazy about Lean instead.

    My company offered the training internally, and since everyone had to do it, I can't offer much advice on how to convince them to pay for your training and certification. If you work in manufacturing, I would think you could make a pretty solid argument that learning how to use statistics and understand variation would pay off in your role.
