Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt

Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt is an entry-level certification designed for individuals who are new to continuous improvement or those looking to build a strong foundation in Lean and Six Sigma methodologies. The course introduces the core principles of Lean (reducing waste) and Six Sigma (minimising variation), and how they are applied to improve processes and deliver better results.

The Yellow Belt course provides a practical understanding of the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, Control) framework and the tools used to identify problems, analyse data, and support improvement initiatives. It also explains the typical role of a Yellow Belt within larger process improvement projects.

Achieving the Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt certification demonstrates that an individual can contribute effectively to process improvement efforts, support project teams, and apply basic Lean Six Sigma techniques to drive efficiency and quality in any organisation or industry.
