Introduction to Lean Six Sigma
Where the methodology came from, why it works, and how Yellow Belt fits into the wider belt structure
Understanding Waste & Variation
Identify the eight types of waste and the difference between common-cause and special-cause variation in your own processes
Define — Scoping a Real Problem
Write a problem statement, build a SIPOC, and define what success actually looks like before any work begins
Measure — Capturing Process Data
Map the current state, collect baseline data, and build a measurement system you can trust
Analyse — Finding the Root Cause
Use fishbone diagrams, 5 Whys, and basic data analysis to identify what's actually driving the problem
Improve — Designing & Testing Solutions
Generate and prioritise solutions, pilot them safely, and use 5S to make improvements stick
Control — Locking in the Gains
Build control plans and handover documentation so the process doesn't drift back the moment you look away
Exam Preparation & Practice
Timed mock papers, worked examples, and technique coaching so the exam itself is the least stressful part
Who is this course for?
Frontline staff & operators
You work inside the process every day and can see exactly where things go wrong — this course gives you the language and tools to do something about it.
Team leaders & supervisors
You're responsible for output and quality but don't yet have a structured method for fixing recurring problems — Yellow Belt gives you one.
Business & process analysts
You're already mapping processes and gathering data — this certification puts a recognised framework around what you're doing and adds the tools to drive measurable change.
Mid-level managers
You're sponsoring or overseeing improvement initiatives and want enough grounding in Lean Six Sigma to ask the right questions and support your team properly.
Prerequisites
No prior Lean Six Sigma experience is needed. If you've ever looked at a process at work and thought 'there has to be a better way', you're ready. The course builds every concept from scratch, so it works whether you're a first-time participant or someone who's been on the edges of improvement projects and wants to formalise what you know.

What delegates say
5.0 ★ average from 1 reviewLorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since 1966, when designers at Letraset and James Mosley, the librarian at St Bride Printing Library in London, took a 1914 Cicero translation and scrambled it to make dummy text for Letraset's Body Type sheets. It has survived not only many decades, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised thanks to these sheets and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker and Microsoft Word including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
