    How is the Yellow Belt different from the Green Belt?

    The Yellow Belt is foundational and focuses on awareness of DMAIC and Lean tools so you can support project teams. The Green Belt goes deeper into statistics and project application and sits one level above. Many learners use the Yellow Belt as a stepping stone to Green Belt.

    How long is the certification valid?

    The IASSC Yellow Belt certification is valid for three years from the date you certify. To keep current status, you pass a recertification exam before the elapse date. This keeps your credential recognised by employers over time.

    Pricing

    Is the IASSC exam fee included in the training price?

    No. IASSC bills the exam voucher separately, and the price varies by location and region. The training fee covers your preparation, while you purchase the exam voucher directly when you are ready to sit the exam.

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for production, quality and operations teams. It is a cost-effective way to upskill several employees at once. Ask about group pricing for your team.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, and offer instalment options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the payment option that suits you best.

    Exam

    What is the format of the Yellow Belt exam?

    The IASSC Yellow Belt exam is a closed-book test with 60 multiple-choice and true or false questions, completed in a two-hour window. Some forms include up to six additional unscored questions. It covers all five DMAIC phases at an awareness level.

    How many questions are there and what is the pass mark?

    The exam has 60 questions, and you need a minimum score of 230 out of 300 points to pass. Questions are spread roughly evenly across the Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve and Control phases, so prepare broadly across the syllabus.

    How is the exam delivered?

    You can take the exam through online proctoring on demand, or at a Pearson VUE test centre. Both options are available to candidates in Shanghai, so you can choose what is most convenient for you.

    Are there prerequisites to sit the exam?

    No. The Yellow Belt exam has no prerequisites, education or work-experience requirements. Training and practical experience are recommended to help you pass, but they are not mandatory to register and sit the exam.

    What if I do not pass the first time?

    You can retake the exam by purchasing a new voucher. Our training includes practice questions and trainer guidance to help you prepare thoroughly and reduce the risk of a resit. Focus your revision on the phases where you scored lowest.

    Course Content

    Can a complete beginner take this course?

    Yes. The Yellow Belt is designed for beginners and requires no prior quality or statistics background. The training introduces each concept step by step, with practical examples, so you build confidence as you go.

    The course covers the five DMAIC phases (Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve and Control) at a foundational level, along with core Lean tools such as 5S, value stream mapping, Kanban and Poka-Yoke, and basic Six Sigma metrics like DPMO and cycle time.

    How long is the training?

    The Yellow Belt training runs for 16 hours in total, delivered as two full days or four half-days depending on the schedule. This gives you focused, structured coverage of the syllabus while fitting around work commitments.

    What materials and practice are included?

    You receive structured courseware, topic-wise quizzes and practice questions aligned to the 60-question IASSC exam format. These resources help you reinforce each concept and build readiness before exam day.

    Is the course aligned to the latest IASSC syllabus?
