Acuity Institute’s Yellow Belt course has been designed to teach Lean Six Sigma fundamentals and its application. It is intended for improvement project team members. Yellow Belt team members form an important part of a mature Lean Six Sigma deployment. As Black Belts and Green Belts begin projects, they will need team members. In this course students are trained and tested on their understanding and ability to apply the tools and techniques of various elements of the Lean Six Sigma methodology. Our aim is to develop the most competent Yellow Belts capable of taking on difficult challenges with ease as a Lean Six Sigma team member.
Training is conducted online and uses a multi-media format that includes audio by Lean Six Sigma experts, examples of successful performance improvement, interactive simulations and quizzes, and the most current and robust tools and techniques available. The course is “self-paced” and can be accessed at anytime – anywhere, which provides the most flexibility in completing the course. On average students complete the Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt training course in 15 hours.
Included in this course is Acuity Institute’s Lean Six Sigma Project Simulation for Yellow Belts. At Acuity we recognize that not every individual has the opportunity to complete an actual Lean Six Sigma project while completing training, therefore we have created a real world simulated project that takes students from the beginning to the end of a problem and solution. The simulated project helps to build the students understanding of the concepts taught in training and provides practical application of the tools. Students complete the course better prepared to apply what they have learned in the real world.
Acuity Institute’s Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt course is one the most comprehensive in the world. We recommend this course to Project Team Members, Department Leaders and anyone who is interested in taking their Lean Six Sigma knowledge to a deeper level (and not as deep as a Green Belt or Black Belt).
Acuity Institute’s Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Certification Exam is the standard for Yellow Belt Certification. Upon completing Lean Six Sigma training, students will be required to achieve a passing mark of 80% or higher on the exam. The exam is intended to validate student proficiency with Lean Six Sigma tools and techniques. The following highlights the Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Certification Exam.
Students will have 1 attempt to successfully pass the exam (80% or higher). If a student does not pass the exam they will be charged a fee of $25 if they choose to retake the exam. Upon submitting the retake fee, Acuity Institute will provide areas in the course for the student to review prior to the next exam attempt.
The exam is administered online. Students will need to have an active internet connection to complete the exam.
The exam is open book. Students may use any reference materials to complete the exam (training manuals, project materials, etc.).
Students have a maximum of 60 minutes to complete the exam.
Once the exam is complete, the student will be notified immediately if they passed the exam. Students will not have access to their answers; this information is keep confidential to Acuity Institute.

At Acuity Institute we want the learning experience to be as supportive and engaging as possible. We understand the importance of having a place to ask questions to the experts about tools and techniques, exercises, project work or general technical support. During training students can submit questions to instructors through Acuity Institute’s Student Center. Responses are provided to student questions in one business day or less. If questions and/or answers are complex, an Acuity Institute instructor will schedule a one-on-one phone meeting with the student to review the question/answer.
COURSE eBOOK and OPTIONAL PRINTED COURSE BOOK back to top
The Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt eBook (electronic copy) contains much of the same content as the online instructional materials. The ebook includes 425+ pages of Lean Six Sigma tools and techniques. The eBook is fully searchable and contains many links to assist students in quickly navigating to key tools and concepts. The eBook allows students the ability to capture notes and comments within the eBook for future reference. Students can print directly from the eBook. To protect the electronic intellectual property of the course content, students will not be able to copy from the eBook.
Through our experiences we have assembled the Lean Six Sigma Toolkit. The toolkit assists Lean Six Sigma practitioners in keeping focused on their project work and not creating “templates”. The toolkit includes various templates from the Lean Six Sigma DMAIC methodology. For ease of use, the templates can be downloaded directly to your computer. The templates are in common formats (MS Word, MS Excel or MS PowerPoint).
