ssgi vs asq affordable pricing

We offer much more reasonable pricing compared to Villanova Six Sigma.

Villanova Six Sigma certification is sold separately from training, withe the cost being an additional $300-$400. This results in you having to pay an extra fee to get certified by the same provider that is offering you the training. Further, a fee of $150 is charged for each additional retake if you do not pass the Villanova Six Sigma Certification exam.

Villanova has some of the highest prices in industry for Lean Six Sigma training and certification. Prices range from $900 for Six Sigma Yellow Belt training to $3,000 for Six Sigma Black Belt training. You might wonder why do they charge such a high price? Well, the answer comes down mainly to two factors. First, they’re a university and because of their name and status they general charge a higher price as compared to private or public companies. Second, they have high overhead and have to pay out instructors and other royalties with each sale.

Our prices are significantly more reasonably and include certification exams, which Villanova offers for an additional fee.

At SSGI all of our training programs have been developed internally by Professor Barry Shore Phd, from the University of New Hampshire. Because of this we do not incur any fees or have to pay out third party trainers, which allows us to offer our programs at an affordable price. In addition, as opposed to the current state of universities across the country, we pride ourselves on delivering affordable education to all.

Throughout our trainings, all tools and concepts are backed up by real-world examples and case studies that illustrate how actual companies such as Amazon, UPS and Air BnB apply these tools to gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
