"I took your Lean Six Sigma Green Belt certification back in April. I just wanted to thank you for being such a great instructor. I had graduated from Dartmouth’s MPH program in 2019, travelled a little bit, got married in October and moved to a new city. Since November 2019 I have been struggling to land a job and though I had interviews they never led anywhere. I tried networking and although people would tell me that my resume looked great it didn’t yield to anything. 
I finally decided I wanted to get a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt certification. To be honest my confidence was at an all time low when I enrolled. But by the time I finished the certification, I felt more confident and it ended up being the factor for me getting through 3 rounds of interviews last month and scoring a position as a Quality Assurance analyst at [Company X]. I am really grateful and I just wanted to let you know!"

Why the Provider Matters?
Professional certification is a process in which a person proves that he or she has the knowledge, as a basis, for performing a specific job. The proof comes in the form of certification earned bypassing quizzes, an exam, case studies, actual case, or some combination of these items that are provided by an accredited organization.  Accreditation is a recognition that an educational institution has a certain standard of quality that other reputable organizations will honor.  Without accreditation, the certification provider may not provide the participant with lasting value. Therefore, it is imperative that you receive your certification from a trusted, accredited institution.
