The exam focuses on the DMAIC framework at an introductory level, the seven wastes, basic process mapping, data collection, and the Yellow Belt's role within Lean Six Sigma project teams. Through a combination of multiple-choice questions, candidates are tested on their ability to apply Lean Six Sigma principles in real-world process-improvement environments.

This Yellow Belt programme builds foundational capability across the three DMAIC phases covered at Yellow Belt level (Define, Measure, and Control) at an awareness level, plus the core Lean tools that support process improvement. By the end, you can contribute confidently to quality and efficiency projects at work.
Learn what you will gain from the Yellow Belt course, starting with the Define phase: build a project charter, capture the voice of the customer, identify critical-to-quality characteristics and frame problems using Y = f(x).
Map processes with SIPOC and value stream maps, apply basic descriptive statistics, and use core Six Sigma metrics such as DPU, DPMO, FTY, RTY and cycle time to understand how a process really performs.
Use cause and effect diagrams, Pareto analysis and an introduction to hypothesis testing to separate real drivers of variation from noise and find the root causes of process problems.
Get a foundational view of simple linear regression and designed experiments so you can support the testing and selection of improvement ideas within a structured DMAIC project.
Apply control tools including statistical process control, 5S, Kanban and Poka-Yoke, and understand control and response plans that keep improvements in place after a project ends.
Understand the Lean enterprise, the seven elements of waste and how Lean integrates with the DMAIC framework to drive faster, leaner and more reliable processes.
