Lean Six Sigma Certification in Government: Overview & Career Options

What is Lean Six Sigma Certification in Government?

Lean Six Sigma Certification in Government
Government agencies are often understaffed and overloaded with work.  Enrolling Government employees in Six Sigma Training will teach them the tools necessary to reduce defects or mistakes as well as maximize the resources (budget/employees) they are given to work with. Once Six Sigma is implemented in various agencies and offices, it will improve the processes used to deliver services to the public, which will in turn help the economy as well as satisfy the customers. When it comes to the government, the ‘customers’ include all the constituents of a given governmental office. The government essentially provides a service to its customers, or in this case, citizens. Because governmental processes are put in place to help basically everyone and are usually on a large scale, it is imperative that these processes are 6-Sigma perfect, with as little waste as possible. Statistically, this translates to 99.9997% effective, or less than 3.4 defects per million opportunities. Realistically, this means efficient processes that take the least possible resources to make the biggest possible impact. When employees are trained in Six Sigma Methodologies, they are given the tools to make big improvements that create drastically better products or services that are both well-received and sustainable, leading to a state of continuous improvement. Six Sigma methodologies have been used and proven effective on the federal, state, and local levels of government.

Six Sigma is a methodology that utilizes statistical tools and concepts to identify variations or defects in a process.  An Accredited Six Sigma Certification in Government indicates an individual has achieved a particular level of knowledge in the study and application of this methodology. This type of certification will make you a more valuable asset in any industry and enhance your career greatly.

The government does not always look for profits but is still in need of a system that both cuts costs and reduces waste and inefficiency. The ultimate goal of the Six Sigma Methodology is to reduce the number of defects and variables within day to day governmental processes.

In this way, the government can use Six Sigma to successfully improve overall productivity. It is the responsibility of the government to use its resources efficiently and effectively to best serve the public, who can be considered the customers of these processes.

Our Six Sigma in Government programs are the same exceptional courses you will find in our standard Six Sigma programs while featuring customized videos that have been specially developed for the Government industry.

Top 5 reasons why people REALLY choose a Lean Six Sigma Certification in Government

Cut Costs by Eliminating Errors

Six Sigma in Government focuses on identifying and eliminating any unnecessary waste in a particular system. This is one aspect of the Six Sigma methodology that creates great demand for Six Sigma Certified Professionals, especially true when it comes to government jobs that are usually competitive and in high-demand. It is especially essential for governmental processes to be perfect at the federal, state, and local level, which makes it a perfect match for the Six Sigma Methodology.

Improve Quality

The process of eliminating errors in products and services naturally leads to improved quality. The government has many opportunities for increased quality at all levels. A specialized Six Sigma Certification in Government will give your resume the edge it needs to compete for a government job. This is a skill set that all of the leading employers of the world know to invest in when it comes time to hire their employees.

Increase Customer Loyalty

When it comes to the government, the ‘customers’ include all the constituents of a given governmental office. The government essentially provides a service to its customers, or in this case, citizens. When the constituents of a given office are happy with the services of their government, everyone benefits.

Increased Employability and Salary Potential

On top of all these benefits is an obvious one… money.  The best way to increase your earning potential is to stand out from the crowd.  Nothing does that quicker and for as little cost as a Six Sigma Certification.  Employers, or in this case, the Government, knows that your knowledge will very likely help make a significant impact on their productivity.  It’s no wonder they reward employees who are Six Sigma Certified with higher salaries.

Improve Culture

Six Sigma improves the overall corporate culture within a federal, state or local governmental office into one of continuous improvement. Because of the hierarchy of Six Sigma Certified individuals, everyone knows their role and expectations– and exactly how teams need to work together to bring about positive changes. As these teams reach both short term and long term goals, they form bonds that strengthen the overall government as a whole. Furthermore, as they start to see the results of their hard work, the drive to continue to reach goals is fostered and rewarded. Six Sigma Certified individuals can seamlessly join Six Sigma Teams already working on projects (or hop to a different team when necessary), especially when their certification is rooted in Government. This ease is all because of the culture of continuous improvement that is emphasized in Six Sigma Training.

Why Over 6 Million People Have Come to See What We Offer

As one of the most established and longest running providers in the industry for online Six Sigma Training & Certification, we have had millions of people just like you weighing our training against the competition. Here are just a few reasons why many prospective training candidates who have performed their due-diligence have chosen to trust us with their educational needs.

Not only is our organization accredited by The Council for Six Sigma Certification (the largest industry accreditation provider to colleges, universities, and private training organizations worldwide), but we also share some of the same original founders. This speaks volumes to our heritage and our underlying commitment to quality education and consumer value. Many providers come and go, but we have remained a trusted industry pioneer.

Unlike many Six Sigma Certification providers, we never put an expiration date on your certification.  

Many providers require renewals not so much to benefit their certified students, but instead to increase their own revenues.

This can be extremely lucrative for them as they force you to pay extra exorbitant costs over the course of your entire career.  Even worse, these costs are often hidden the details of the expiration in fine print.  It is not uncommon for a student to be shocked with this information only AFTER they have earned their achievement and see their final certificate.

Think about it… does a college degree come with an expiration date?  Neither should your Six Sigma Certification.

Rest assured that our training is well recognized in the business community and we take the needs of employers very seriously. Many other training providers certify their students without a serious attempt of teaching thorough and lasting fundamentals of Six Sigma business methodologies. Our programs were designed to offer the most flexibility while still retaining a rigorous course-load. Every Six Sigma course offered by the Aveta Business Institute is self-paced.

Our programs have been used throughout the world by some of the largest companies… our certifications are very well respected. Below is a short list of Six Sigma business clients that have benefited from having their employees enrolled into our online program:

  • Apple
  • Google
  • Microsoft
  • Facebook
  • Amazon
  • Coca-Cola
  • Samsung
  • Disney
  • State/Federal Government Agencies

Your life can become unexpectedly busy and stressful… we aren’t looking to make things even worse by imposing unrealistic deadlines. 

Since our courses are designed for individuals whose schedule demands a self-paced approach, you decide when to take your exams.  There is no “set” scheduled online class time (or date).  Our courses were designed to fit around your busy lifestyle.

Our students have 12 months from the time of payment to complete all of their certification requirements.  However, even if you require more than 1 year to complete your program, course extensions can be requested at any time before your deadline from Customer Care (free of charge).

We offer the same quality Six Sigma training you will find at many top universities. 

However, many of these leading collegiate training providers have a problem.  They offer both classroom-based and online-based programs. 

Classroom-based training is much more expensive for these providers since they have to pay for facilities, full-time instructors, travel costs, etc.  When asked to justify the higher price, their only real justification is that since an instructor speaks to an entire class, you would have learned significantly more than if you would have read the same material yourself (even though U.S. Department of Defense studies have shown that online training proved to be more effective in courses of greater complexity than classroom-based instructor-led training).

Let us not also forget that in a classroom environment, students are rushed through their programs (and often not given a chance to absorb the material) due to strict time constraints.  Most importantly, students are not provided a way to easily reference the material later (it is only natural that students will forget pieces of what they have learned as time goes on).

This reasoning makes learning Six Sigma in an online environment HIGHLY preferable to classroom-based training.

In a perfect world, this shouldn’t matter since many respected colleges and universities also offer online courses.  Often, these colleges and universities keep their online prices inflated to help subsidize their classroom-based programs.  This is why you will see our same program sold for double or triple the price elsewhere.

We would much rather keep our prices honest and pass the savings directly to you.
