Should I Get Six Sigma Certified?

The reasons for certification are the same for any other certification:
# To display proficiency in the subject matter
# To increase desirability by employers
# To potentially increase your salary

Ultimately, certification is a professional decision that can only be made by you. In some cases, it will be required for you to advance within an organization. For instance, at some companies it is a requirement of every salaried employee to be green belt trained and certified if they want to be promoted within the organization. In other cases, Six Sigma certification will display your energy and intent to be a leader within the quality profession.
