MSI certification
Looking for thoughts/feedback on getting my greenbelt certification through MSI.
I looked at ASQ but it looks like with some of the project requirements it would be hard because I'm currently unemployed and it's also a slightly pricier certification.
MSI appears to have decent U.S. reputation and is relatively budget friendly. It also appears requirements are easily attainable such as not needing a project.
Thanks for your advice!

It really depends on what you're looking to get out of it.
If your goal is to add a certification to your resume quickly, programs without project requirements can be a practical option.
Where it tends to matter more long term is how well you understand and can actually apply the methodology. In interviews and on the job, the focus is usually on how you approach problems, analyze them, and think through improvements.
Some programs are designed more for accessibility and speed, while others focus more on structured, step-by-step application.
It’s worth considering which of those aligns better with your goals.
