‘Self-study’ Yellow Belt Online training  – equivalent to 2 days

Our unique approach to online training brings the classroom experience to you! The core of our learning material is bite-sized videos, recorded in live training sessions so that you can learn by watching real people delivering a real course to real delegates. 

How it works

Each delegate receives a logon to the Business Improvement Zone – Catalyst’s state-of-the-art Learning Management System. There you will have access to the video materials as well as an extensive set of learning and project resources. To help ensure success, one of our experienced classroom trainers will be assigned to you personally to support you as you progress through the training programme. 

The videos are organised into a series of courses which align with the Lean Six Sigma project structure. 

  • We don’t use animations. Voiced-over Power Points are only used occasionally to introduce or summarise some topics
  • There are quizzes at the end of each course so you can check your knowledge

The videos are complemented by an extensive set of resource materials

  • 12 months access to Catalyst’s online Business Improvement Zone – over 70 short videos recorded live in the classroom covering the entire course content
  • Detailed learning guides to help structure your learning and lead you through the videos
  • A pdf copy of our famous, GO Book (found on Amazon)
  • A project guide to explain everything you need to know about Lean Six Sigma projects
