Online Yellow Belt Series Version III

Business Improvement and Six Sigma made simple

The PMI Online Yellow is an accessible way to learn about the tools, method and benefits of business improvement and six sigma. Delivered in a modular online format, it is the ideal way to introduce and share knowledge of what’s involved in a six sigma initiative. Newly updated to include our award winning Lean content; the Online Yellow Belt plays out a fictitious business improvement case study in a “soap opera” setting helping learners to gain familiarity with the tools, terminology and method without the need for formal classroom training. At the end of the 33 module series, learners are awarded a certificate of completion to recognise their “Yellow Belt” level of awareness.

What's covered?

The series takes users around the entire PMI Improvement Cycle – our proven methodology for business process improvement. Along the way theoretical concepts are presented and then applied by the team at Presto Pizza, our fictional case study company.
