Six Sigma skills are widely sought by employers both nationally and internationally.

Yellow Belt knowledge is needed before advancing to Green Belt (which is a second specialization offered here on Coursera by the USG). Green Belt knowledge is needed before moving to a Black Belt.\\n\\nThe proper sequence of this specialization is:\\n\\nCourse #1 - Six Sigma Fundamentals\\n\\nCourse #2 - Six Sigma Tools for Define and Measure\\n\\nCourse #3 - Six Sigma Tools for Analyze\\n\\nCourse #4 - Six Sigma Tools for Improve and Control\\n\\nAt the end of Course #4 (Six Sigma Tools for Improve and Control), there is a peer-reviewed, capstone project. Successful completion of this project is necessary for full completion of this specialization.\\n\\nIt should be noted that completing either the Yellow Belt or Green Belt Specializations does not give the learner \"professional accreditation\" in Six Sigma. However, successful completion will assist in better preparation for such professional accreditation testing.
