The Six Sigma approach is ideal for researchers from all disciplines as it provides a structured methodology to problem solving using the recognised DMAIC approach first developed by Motorola. Many successful organisations across the world have since adopted the strategy.

A Six Sigma Green Belt training certificate will be extremely useful for a researcher moving forward to start work within an organisation as it demonstrates that they are trained in this key process improvement methodology that is recognised worldwide to improve competitiveness and efficiency.

The course material includes the standard curriculum for Six Sigma Green Belt training with special focus on the needs of research students.
