Title: You can become a Six Sigma certified project manager for $59
Post by: Bearblastbeats on November 01, 2018, 07:56:18 PM

Is this real or a scam. Would this be worth it for me to invest time into?

I’ve seen similar deals before. I didn’t use them, so not sure of the results.  Within my company, your 6 sigma project would have to fulfill certain criteria to be able to “pass” and get certification. I”m not sure how this group would manage that.

Also, don’t conflate this with a certified Project Management Professional (PMP), that is a separate certification only available via PMI.

The certification is a scam, but the training is probably ok, the material is readily available out there and pretty standard.  You could study from it, do a project and then get ASQ certified.  Or you could just get the body of knowledge from ASQ and study from that.
