Hi,

I am planning to do green belt certification. I am currently working in an IT organization for the last one year. My question is regarding the training. any one of you having knowledge of this, please reply.

1.  if i do certification and training will it be specific to IT ( as in GREEN belt in Six Sigma,IT) and will my training and examination will be specific only to IT.

2.  Suppose later in my career I join some other industry( like finance ) , will I have to do again six sigma green Belt( in Finance). Or these trainings and their applications remain the same accross diffent industries.

Thanks in advance

Ankur

Dear Ankur,

The Six Sigma training and certification is industry neutral. In the sense that the same Six Sigma methodology D-M-A-I-C can be used to solve problems in any industry. The tools in Six Sigma don't care whether you apply them to an IT problem or a Finance problem. Accordingly, the Six Sigma certification will only state Green Belt and will not indicate any specifics like IT, Finance etc. 

So, there is only one Green Belt course and you will not have to repeat the course if you change your functional area.

Hope this helps answer your question.

SJ.
