San Marcos, Texas, October 24, 2007 - Sigma Breakthrough Technologies,
Inc., an international business process solutions firm announced
today the American Council on Education’s College Credit
Recommendation Service has recommended SBTI’s Master Black
Belt program for graduate level college credit.
Sigma Breakthrough Technologies Inc.’s (SBTI) Master Black
Belt (MBB) program has long been recognized as the best in the
industry. SBTI has now taken its program to the next level.
The American Council on Education’s College Credit Recommendation
Service (ACE CREDIT) has evaluated and recommended graduate level
college credit for two of SBTI’s MBB courses. The courses
are: The Five Week MBB Core Program (6 graduate semester hours)
and the Five Week Core Program with Certification (12 graduate
semester hours).
The American Council on Education, the major coordinating body
for all the nation's higher education institutions, seeks to provide
leadership and a unifying voice on key higher education issues
and to influence public policy through advocacy, research, and
program initiatives.
For more than 30 years, colleges and universities have trusted
ACE CREDIT to provide reliable course equivalency information
to facilitate their decisions to award academic credit. For more
information, visit the ACE CREDIT website at http://www.acenet.edu/acecredit.
In short, achieving a strong credit recommendation from ACE CREDIT
requires that an organization follow a disciplined training structure
and maintain high standards of excellence in delivering its programs.
For the benefit of our MBB graduates, SBTI participates in the
American Council on Education’s (ACE) Transcript Service.
The ACE Transcript Service offers a lifelong record for students
who have successfully completed the courses that have been reviewed
by ACE CREDIT. This service enables adult learners to present
a nationally recognized transcript to the college or university
of their choice for the potential award of academic credit.
SBTI’s MBB core training program provides a powerful and
unique combination of advanced hard and soft skills training.
Fifty percent of SBTI’s MBB program focuses on advanced
statistical skills. These advanced skills enable the MBB and the
belts they coach to deal with the complex data structures that
often underlie tough business problems. But hard skills are only
half the formula which leads to success.
The remaining 50% of the SBTI MBB program focuses on soft skills
like managing a Lean Sigma program, leadership, leading change,
communicating with passion and connection, and teaching Six Sigma
skills. These soft skills arm an MBB with the skills necessary
to lead the multi-functional and/or global teams that are required
to solve the tough problems. Furthermore, Master Black Belts trained
and certified by SBTI are the key to rapidly internalizing your
Six Sigma or Lean Sigma deployment. They provide the leadership
training and coaching needed to reduce or remove dependence on
outside consultants. They also accelerate the necessary culture
change in their organizations. They are able to share their expertise
effectively with others and generate infectious excitement for
their Six Sigma and Lean Sigma programs.
The combination of advanced hard and soft skills is the formula
for success that will enable your MBBs to yield large financial
returns. After your MBB students undergo such extensive training,
they will become an effective leader within your company and get
higher education credit to apply to their future graduate work.
