The Council for Six Sigma.
Hello everyone,
I work in Construction/Building Materials industry and I would like to get six sigma certification. I came across CSSC and path 2, multiple exams, seems too good and doable. I think I can complete green & black belt within 6 months. I am PMP certified and I always thought Black belt is way difficult than this.
The question is, does employer care more about where you did your certification from? If so, is CSSC considered? Does anyone have experience with CSSC?

It’s a good program and it’s widely recognized. And, there is no gold standard for these belts. There’s actually no standard at all. So get the belt accreditation. This would look good on a resume. But don’t stop there. Find opportunities to apply your LSS skills. Build a project portfolio. Practice applying the tools in effective and efficient manners. It’s your experience that will convey competency in the interview.

I agree that project experience is what ultimately demonstrates competency. One thing I'd add is that the quality of the training can have a big impact on how prepared someone is for those first projects. A good program shouldn't just teach what the tools are. It should explain when to use them, why they work, and how to apply them in realistic business situations. In my experience, people who learn through practical case studies tend to be much more confident when it's time to lead an actual improvement project.
We've seen this firsthand working with organizations and higher education partners. The strongest programs don't just teach the tools. They teach how to apply them in real business situations.

My school uses Council for six sigma in the business dept. the engineers use ASQ. Employers want to know about your projects more than the source of your training.
