ssgi vs asq affordable pricing

We offer much more reasonable pricing than ASQ.

ASQ Six Sigma certification is sold separately from training, which results in you having to pay an extra fee to get certified. This means that in addition to the cost of training, you must also purchase a separate ticket that gives you access to schedule an exam.

ASQ has some of the highest prices in industry for Lean Six Sigma training and certification. Prices range from $695 for Yellow Belt training to $3,100 for Black Belt training.

Our prices are significantly more reasonably and include certification exams, which ASQ 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.

ASQ only allows for one attempt per exam, or else an additional fee is warranted. We do not charge extra for additional attempts or Re-certification.

Here at SSGI we believe that learning how to apply skills is just as important as learning skills. Unlike our competition, who tend to solely focus on the technical side of Lean Six Sigma, we place an emphasis on making sure you can apply what you learn to the workforce. 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. More so, participants also have access to downloadable templates and simulated projects that will reinforce the topics covered in the trainings.
