Why Choose Six Sigma Online?

E-mail Print PDF

There is no doubt about it - Black Belt training is becoming commodified. This is not entirely a bad thing, since this tends to decrease the price to get trained as a Black Belt. However, it also has the effect that a lot of people are offering "Black Belt training" with varying degrees of competence and experience.

ROI personnel developed our Black Belt training from courses that we have taught at Fortune 500 companies since before 1985. These courses were honed over the years until they were precisely what companies needed in a way that worked in real life. These courses were then further concentrated and optimized to meet the growing demand for advanced problem-solving training, resulting in the Black Belt course. We encourage you to compare our course contents with any other Black Belt course. You will find we cover more topics in more depth than any other. We can do this since we use MVPstats to make the basic and intermediate statistics very easy and quick to learn, and because our instructors have many years of experience in making it easy to understand topics that can be confusing. We provide many forms and useful tools to help you on your way.

The Black Belt discs are a multimedia capture showing both the instructor and the computer he is using. The format of the capture itself makes learning easier. We frequently heard back from our live trainees that they learned a lot from the training, but that they are concerned that they will forget some test when they need it. Since you are given the entire course on disc, this will never be a problem for you. You can use an index to find the topic you are interested in reviewing, click on it, and jump right to it in the presentation by using a search function or browsing the slides.

The last reason our training is so well received is that we only use one trainer for the class. This puts a high requirement on our trainers, but we feel that is outweighed by the ability of an individual to bring multiple areas of expertise to bear on questions in the course. This is reflected not only in the training, but in the online support available to Black Belts-in-training.

 

Random Testimonial

After reviewing several online courses, I finally told myself to make a decision based on the information I had.  I could have easily spent another 6 months reviewing my many options, but I really wanted to get started on a course this summer while I had a little more free time.  Your course definitely stood out among the others - especially in the area of personal mentoring which is very important to me.

My education includes a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering.  Even though I have over 10 years experience, I have not been a practicing engineer for the past 14 years (have been teaching).  I would like to get back into engineering and thought the black belt training would be very beneficial.  My goal is to become certified.

The optional slide guide will definitely be a bonus and time saver.  Taking notes with the guides saved 40% of the time required to view today's session!  

I appreciated your suggestion on nonprofits as an option for a project.  That opens up a lot of opportunities I never considered.  There are a few local organizations that we support - would love to consider offering my time to benefit their causes.

Random Heresy

A colleague of mine made an interesting point about how we teach and learn experimental design techniques, and I thought I'd explore the subject further. He observed that the order that we teach statistics is almost exactly opposite of how one would actually use them. So this month I will describe the different tools and how they would be used in the actual order you might use them.
