Six Sigma Course

Oxford Home Study Centre is proud to offer an extensive range of Six Sigma courses for distance learning.  This endorsed Level 2 Six Sigma Project Management Certificate is ideal for newcomers, delivered over a series of four engaging modules as detailed below:

Module 1: Six Sigma Basics  

The first module familiarises candidates with the fundamentals of Six Sigma, including its origins, objectives and limitations in a business setting.  Each component of the DMAIC approach to project management - (Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, Control) – is also discussed, along with the logistics of bringing Six Sigma into an existing project management framework.

Module 2: Project Improvement Tools      

Several essential project improvement tools are presented and discussed in the second module, including but not limited to Cause Effect Diagrams, Histograms, Flowcharts, Scatter Diagrams, Pareto Analysis, Check Sheets and Control Charts.  The primary functions and advantages of each of these project improvement tools are examined, along with the roles they play in a wider project management context.

Module 3: Management Tools for Generating Ideas        

Module three focuses on generating ideas and the primary tools/techniques that can motivate improved idea generation.  Examples of which include multi-voting, consensus-building, the nominal group technique, affinity diagrams and classic brainstorming.  Candidates also learn about nonconformance and quality audits in project management.

Module 4: Continuous Improvement         

Bringing the course to a close, candidates discuss the importance of striving for continuous improvement throughout all stages of the project lifecycle. The DMAIC model is once again brought into discussion, along with some of the more typical challenges that can hinder the pursuit of continuous improvement.

The course has been endorsed under the ABC Awards and Certa Awards Quality Licence Scheme. This means that Oxford home study centre has undergone an external quality check to ensure that the organisation and the courses it offers, meet defined quality criteria. The completion of this course alone does not lead to a regulated qualification* but may be used as evidence of knowledge and skills gained. The Learner Unit Summary may be used as evidence towards Recognition of Prior Learning if you wish to progress your studies in this subject. To this end the learning outcomes of the course have been benchmarked at Level 2 against level descriptors published by Ofqual, to indicate the depth of study and level of demand/complexity involved in successful completion by the learner.

The course itself has been designed by Oxford home study centre to meet specific learners’ and/or employers’ requirements which cannot be satisfied through current regulated qualifications. ABC Awards/Certa endorsement involves robust and rigorous quality audits by external auditors to ensure quality is continually met. A review of courses is carried out as part of the endorsement process.

ABC Awards and Certa Awards have long-established reputations for providing high quality vocational qualifications across a wide range of industries. ABC Awards and Certa Awards combine over 180 years of expertise combined with a responsive, flexible and innovative approach to the needs of our customers.

Renowned for excellent customer service, and quality standards, ABC Awards and Certa Awards also offer regulated qualifications for all ages and abilities post-14; all are developed with the support of relevant stakeholders to ensure that they meet the needs and standards of employers across the UK. 

This Level 2 Six Sigma Project Management Certificate could prove particularly useful for newcomers, with no prior experience with Six Sigma.  Whether new to project management or considering a completely new career path, an endorsed award could help you take that next big step.  Typical job titles in the field of project management include implementation manager, communications officer, project coordinator, PMO specialist, project support officer and many more besides.  Each of which opens the door to an average salary of around £25,000 and up.
