Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belts
Learn fundamental problem solving skills
Around the world, leading companies trust Lean Six Sigma experts to solve complex problems, implement strategic initiatives and create measurable value. Team members will learn fundamental problem solving skills.
Top organisations use Lean Six Sigma methodologies to drive competitive advantage and operational excellence.
Our aim is to develop you into the most competent Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt capable of taking on difficult business challenges with ease while you support a continuous improvement programme. Determine the voice of your customer, create a customer journey map, collect data and apply problem solving methods to business issues. In this course you are trained and tested on your understanding and ability to apply the DMAIC tools and techniques to support various elements of the Lean Six Sigma methodology.
Our programme is designed to ensure practical application, not merely academic theory training, and includes real-world scenarios, data sets, simulations and interactive learning exercises. Our curricula are developed by experienced Master Black Belts using real life case studies and data sets, to ensure participants can apply the tools practically in any industry for measurable results.
If you are an individual looking to boost your own career with a Yellow Belt certification, we can support you with eLearning and (optional) coaching sessions. You will benefit from the same programmes and study at your own pace.
