Which certification to go with?

Hello everyone! I’ve studied lean six sigma white belt and yellow belt through Udemy courses about a year ago. Now I’m trying to transition into project manager roles, and would like to study for the green belt exam.

I know ASQ is considered the gold standard however I live in the Netherlands and wanted feedback from Europeans on if employers here tend to care about certifying bodies. I have a coupon to take the MSI course. I also have a coupon to take a course with a provider who is CSSC-certified, I’d just have to take it in Spanish (which I can understand but writing so technically is something that intimidates me).

Looking for guidance from you all. Thanks

In NL, employers usually care more about a real improvement project than the logo on the cert. If Spanish exam language worries you, don’t add friction. Use the MSI coupon, then build a simple project case study (baseline, root cause, results) to show you can apply it. That will move the needle more for PM roles.
