The Six Sigma Yellow Belt course gives a broad understanding of the Six Sigma improvement methodology, concepts, and language. It also familiarises a participant with the basic process improvement methods applied within a Six Sigma framework, including basic Statistical Process Control Charts.

The training introduces the fundamentals of Six Sigma to individual process owners and operators who can then act as team members on Six Sigma projects. Not only do these Yellow Belts gain the skills necessary to identify, monitor and control profit-eating practices in their own processes, but they are also prepared to feed that information to Black Belts and Green Belts working on larger system projects.
