We offer training & certification together for one affordable price, MoreSteam charges more than 5x for training alone & makes you pay extra for certification.

ssgi vs asq affordable pricing

We offer much more reasonable pricing than MoreSteam Six Sigma.

MoreSteam Six Sigma certification is sold separately from training, which results in you having to pay an extra fee to get certified. For example, separate from training, an extra fee of $500 is required to receive a Green Belt certification! More so, a fee of $700 is required for 3 hours of coaching, where as Dr. Shore and the SSGI team make themselves available to all students who have questions or concerns throughout the program without any additional fee. In regards to MoreSteam, this means that in addition to the cost of training (which is already 5x of what SSGI charges), you must also purchase a separate ticket that gives you access to a certification exam. This is a strategy that many organizations use to make an excuse to add on fees for the consumer. MoreSteam claims that training and certification are two separate processes. However at the end of the day the same organization that is offering you training is also granting you a certification. The only difference is that they have separated the exam from the training and make you pay a separate fee. The SSGI examination process is also separately located on a third-party examination system outside of the courseware, however we do not charge a separate fee, instead we included it in the overall fee.

MoreSteam has some of the highest prices in industry for Lean Six Sigma training and certification. Prices range from $750 for Yellow Belt training to $13,500 for Master Black Belt training.

Our prices are significantly more reasonably and include certification exams, which MoreSteam 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. Dr. Shore is an award winning McGraw Hill author for his book on Operations Management. He is seen as an authority in the field of process improvement and has consulted with top companies such as Hyundai, Air Canada, Samsung and many others.

Here at SSGI we believe that learning how to apply skills is just as important as learning skills.

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.
