I’ve been looking through the various e-learning and certification courses for which program would best suit my budget, professional, and learning needs for obtaining CSSBB. I’ve already obtained CSSGB from Arizona State University – Mikel Harry’s discontinued or shifted SS certification. The course I’m currently considering is offered by Aveta Business Solutions – they say they’ve worked with many of the top companies in various verticals (DHL, Mercedes, Toyota, etc). Has anyone taken their course or know anything about other than the previous post almost 12 months ago? Please share your experience. PJR,I have not heard of Aveta Business Solutions.

It is difficult to keep track of all of the new vendors that enter the Six Sigma marketplace.As you know from your research, there are literally dozens and dozens of Six Sigma training vendors. Some may be good, but beware — there are a lot of charlatans out there. Here are some tips for performing “due diligence” with various potential vendors for Green Belt and Black Belt courses:1.

ASK THE COMPANY FOR THEIR OWN SIX SIGMA PROJECTS — Approach any possible training vendor like you would approach a potential employee: ask lots of questions about their own experiences with Six Sigma. Ask the training vendor how the company applies Six Sigma to its own operations. A lot will tell you how the have helped OTHERS, but dig beyond that. Ask how their own company has utilized Six Sigma. They should be able to send you “storyboards” (summaries) of the Six Sigam projects they have worked on to improve their own company. If they can’t tell you, skip it and consider some other training company.2. REFERENCES — Ask for references from prior attendees, and call them.

Lean Six Sigma is a process that depends on collaborative teamwork to enhance organizational performance by removing waste in a systematic manner. A Lean Six Sigma training program offers you the know-how to use the DMAIC model for resolving organizational problems. Six Sigma methodology is an effective and proven way of improving profits and quality by reducing defects and issues with all aspects of the business itself.

It sounds like Aveta has references — get names and numbers at these companies, and call them. And, ask the possible training companies about the “success rate” of their graduates — ask them how they define success, too!!! — these questions will tell you whether they actually keep in touch with people who have completed their course, and how they are applying the knowledge.3. PROJECTS — Ask whether the class requires completion of one or more projects prior to getting “certified”. Most courses do some testing, but only some require a Project. If they do NOT require at least one project (a REAL project, NOT a simulated project!!), skip on to the next training company.4. SUPPORT FROM A BB OR MBB — Ask them whether their company provides support from a BB or MBB AFTER the class, while you are trying to complete your BB or GB certification projects.

If NOT, skip on to the next training company.If they DO provide that kind of support, dig in further: how is the support provided (in-person, online, on the phone, etc.), how often, etc.AND, ask about the credentials of the BB or MBB that would be helping you — when did they get certified, what projects have they completed, etc. Good hunting!Best regards, QualityColorado. I have been seeking Six Sigma Cert. Mercedes wis 2006 virtual pc machine complete. As well, I’m concerned the blogs prior have been discrediting AVETA. As in the blog guidelines no solicitation is authorized; however, each blog against AVETA has Villanova, BMG, Motorola, etc. Offers for certification after comments.
