Yellow Belt training from Symbol
Symbol’s Yellow Belt training courses introduce you to Lean principles and Six Sigma approaches. After attending these trainings, you will realize improvements in your own work environment and make valuable contributions to larger Lean or Six Sigma projects.
A Yellow Belt training course concludes with an internationally recognized LSSA certificate.
Lean Yellow Belt or Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt?
Lean and Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belts are often responsible for improving operational performance within a particular department or line. This could include reducing lead times, solving problems or improving quality. Activities may be related to 5S, implement visual management techniques, contribute to the development of work processes and standards or they participate in brainstorming sessions. Therefore, after Yellow Belt training, you will know exactly how to handle and improve these types of tasks.
The Lean Yellow Belt is familiar with Lean principles, Lean techniques such as 5S and continuous improvement using the Kaizen approach (PDCA). The Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt is familiar with both the Lean principles and the Six Sigma approach. As a Yellow Belt, you will work independently to solve problems in your own work environment. The Yellow Belt also participates as a team member in larger Lean or Six Sigma projects.
If an organization decides to implement Lean Six Sigma company-wide, large groups of employees will often be trained at the Yellow Belt level to create a strong foundation. Yellow Belts have extensive experience with day-to-day processes and for that reason are well able to carry out Kaizen projects independently. The Yellow Belt is also a valuable team member within Green or Black Belt projects.
Basically, you follow the same training. The first day and a half is dedicated to the Lean Yellow Belt. The last half-day constitutes the upgrade to Six Sigma Yellow Belt.
Yellow Belt online training (E-learning)
In addition to our regular training courses, Symbol is now introducing full-fledged E-learning at the Yellow Belt level. The E-learning track is available in multiple languages. This online training can be taken and followed individually, but is also well suited to be used company-wide, for example in onboarding programs, to create a strong foundation for the continuous improvement organization.
The online Yellow Belt training consists of instructional videos, explanatory text, images, interactive exercises and questions. Upon completion, you can sit for the LSSA’s officially recognized Lean or Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt exam.

Content of training
Through an interactive program, you will gain an understanding of the basic concepts and techniques of Lean. We do this by using a Lean game to let you experience for yourself the results of using the Lean principles. In industry training, we simulate an aircraft factory. For Services, we use an “Office game. Finally, when everyone’s eyes are opened, you are able to name what this means for your own work and work environment.
