This Belt offers the participant a basic understanding of the tools and techniques used in Lean and Six Sigma and is a good start toward the professional competencies of the Yellow Belt, Green Belt, Black Belt, and Master Black Belt. After obtaining this first level belt, participants are qualified to act as team members in a Green Belt or Black Belt project. After completing the course, participants will have an introductory understanding of:
- Lean and Six Sigma principals
- The Structure of Lean Six Sigma (DMAIC)

Yellow Belt - 2 Day Course
The Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt certification consists of two days of training with certificate issued upon successful completion of the course. The training offers an understanding of the basic methodologies used in Lean Six Sigma. The training covers improvement techniques and required metrics at a basic level. For most organizations, a Yellow Belt is an individual that is a core team member on a single project or multiple projects and has specific subject matter expertise. This course gives participants a greater knowledge of process improvement principals through an introduction of process management. Students are also familiarized with the basic tools of Lean Six Sigma. The intent of the training is to provide individuals with the tools needed to be a valuable project team member and a contributor to meeting the organization’s goals and objectives.
Yellow Belt Certification will develop:
- The proficiency of personnel as Lean Six Sigma supporters
- The acceptance of Lean Six Sigma as a benefit to employees and the company
- A better understanding of daily tasks that will translate into better quality, reduced waste, and improved cycle times
Yellow Belts play an important support role in the Lean Six Sigma process. Yellow Belts are tasked with gathering accurate data and sharing their expertise in the problem-solving process. Their understanding of the process is a vital part of improvement methodology. Yellow Belts are skilled at identifying, controlling, and monitoring potential improvement opportunities and reporting this information to the Green Belts and Black Belts within the organization.
