IIE's Six Sigma Black Belt Courses Recommended by ACE Credit Service for College Credit
Norcross, GA (PRWEB) April 20, 2007 -- The Institute of Industrial Engineers' flagship course, Six Sigma Black Belt, has been evaluated by the American Council on Education (ACE) which has recommended that the course is equivalent to three (3) graduate semester hour credits in statistics for quality assurance and three (3) graduate semester hours in statistical process control or design of experiments.
Larry Aft, Director of Continuing Education for The Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE) stated, "The fact that IIE's Six Sigma course has been evaluated by ACE as being equivalent to six hours of graduate credit speaks highly to the quality of our continuing education programs. Participants can be assured that our training programs are of the highest standards."
Corporations often require equivalent college credit in order to support employees taking continuing education courses. Often they require continuing education credits as well. IIE's courses all offer Continuing Education Credits (CEUs), so this is an excellent step forward in helping companies get employees trained in a critical element of continuous processes improvement.
According to Don Greene, Executive Director of IIE, "Our Six Sigma Black Belt program receives high marks from participants. It truly provides a valuable service to the growing community of quality professionals. I am pleased that the American Council on Education has made this recommendation."
IIE offers an array of courses in Six Sigma, lean, supply chain management, and other quality programs. To see all of IIE's course offerings, go to www.iieseminars.org.
