Six Sigma Yellow Belt

UNF’s Six Sigma Yellow Belt course provides “front line” employees and Six Sigma team members with an understanding of the philosophy and goals of Six Sigma as well as an understanding of their role in a Six Sigma program. This workshop intensive course walks participants through each step of the DMAIC process utilizing a series of hands-on exercises in each phase to build an understanding of how to work with data as part of a Six Sigma team.

Who should attend:
Individuals who will be participating on Six Sigma teams, will be undertaking activities related to Six Sigma or will be impacted by Six Sigma activities.

Prerequisite: None

CEU Credits: 1.6

Duration: 16 Hours – 2-day course

Course Content:

Introduction to Six Sigma
