Yellow Belt in Lean Six Sigma

Overview of course

The Sapphire Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt is based on the globally recognized Ohio standard for Yellow Belt. It consists of 20 on-line Lessons (with an accompanying on-line test) where candidates learn the theory behind the core lean six sigma tools. A small project also needs to be completed where candidates demonstrate application of these tools. It takes 20 – 30 learning hours to complete the full programme and candidates typically do this over a 3-4 month period. Candidates are guided through the programme by a course tutor who is a Lean Six Sigma Blackbelt.
