    What Is Six Sigma and How the Awareness Course Builds FluencyA One-Day Introduction to Process Excellence

    Six Sigma Awareness Training in the UK is a one-day, non-certification course that introduces the Six Sigma methodology, the DMAIC improvement cycle, and the core language of data-driven quality to everyone in an organisation. Rather than turning you into a practising Green Belt, it gives employees, managers and leaders enough understanding to contribute to and support improvement projects with confidence. Six Sigma is a structured, data-driven approach to reducing process variation and eliminating defects, with the well-known target of fewer than 3.4 defects per million opportunities. First developed at Motorola in the 1980s and made famous by GE, it is now applied across UK manufacturing, healthcare, financial services, logistics and the public sector. This programme covers its history and philosophy, the five DMAIC phases (Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, Control), key concepts such as DPMO and Critical to Quality, the Six Sigma roles, and Lean Six Sigma as the combined approach. Delivered by experienced Invensis Learning trainers in live virtual, classroom and corporate formats, it is the ideal first step for teams beginning a Six Sigma or Lean Six Sigma journey.

It is designed for employees, managers and leaders who want to understand and support improvement projects without becoming practising Green Belts or Black Belts.

    General

    What is Six Sigma Awareness Training?

    Six Sigma Awareness Training is a one-day, non-certification course that introduces the Six Sigma methodology, the DMAIC improvement cycle, key concepts and the Six Sigma roles. It is designed for employees, managers and leaders who want to understand and support improvement projects without becoming practising Green Belts or Black Belts.

    Who should attend this course?

    The training suits employees who take part in Six Sigma projects, managers and supervisors who lead those teams, senior leaders who sponsor improvement programmes, and anyone considering progressing to Yellow Belt or Green Belt. No prior quality or statistical knowledge is needed.

    Is Six Sigma awareness worth it for my career?

    Yes. Understanding Six Sigma and DMAIC is a valued workplace skill across UK manufacturing, healthcare, finance and the public sector. It helps you contribute to improvement work, opens paths toward continuous improvement and quality roles, and lays the groundwork for further Six Sigma training.

    What is Six Sigma?

    Six Sigma is a data-driven methodology for reducing process variation and eliminating defects, with the well-known target of fewer than 3.4 defects per million opportunities. Developed at Motorola and made famous by GE, it uses the DMAIC cycle to improve existing processes across every industry.

    Do I need any prior experience to attend?

    No. The course has no prerequisites and assumes no background in quality management or statistics. It is designed to be accessible to all employees, supervisors, managers and leaders, whatever their role or sector.

    Pricing

    How much does Six Sigma Awareness Training cost in the UK?

    Pricing varies by delivery mode, group size and format, so training is quoted on request. Corporate and group rates are available for teams. Contact a learning advisor for a tailored quote for your requirements.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically includes instructor-led training across all six modules, course materials and case studies, interactive exercises, and a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning. Confirm the exact inclusions for your chosen format when you enquire.

    Do you offer group or corporate pricing?

    Yes. Six Sigma Awareness Training is often delivered to whole teams as part of a Six Sigma rollout, and we offer volume-based corporate pricing with tailored scheduling. Ask about group rates for your organisation.

    Is there any separate assessment fee?

    No. This is a non-certification course with no formal assessment, so there is no separate fee beyond the training. You receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning on finishing the one-day programme.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, with invoicing available for corporate bookings. Speak with a learning advisor to arrange the option that suits you or your organisation.

    Assessment

    Is there an exam for this course?

    No. Six Sigma Awareness Training is a non-certification course with no examination. Learning is reinforced through interactive discussion, case study examples and team exercises during the one-day programme.

    Will I receive anything on completion?

    Yes. You receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning once you finish the one-day programme. This is a record of attendance and learning, not a formal Six Sigma credential.

    Does this course make me a Green Belt or Black Belt?

    No. This is an awareness-level introduction and does not qualify you to lead Six Sigma projects. To become a practitioner, progress to Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt, Green Belt or Black Belt training after building your foundation here.

    How am I assessed during the training?

    There is no formal assessment. Throughout the day, interactive discussions and team exercises let you apply Six Sigma concepts to your own work context, so learning is practical rather than test-driven.

    What will I be able to do afterwards?

    You will be able to explain what Six Sigma is, follow the five DMAIC phases, understand key metrics and roles, and contribute to improvement projects. It is also an ideal foundation for Yellow Belt or Green Belt training.

    Course Content

    What topics does the course cover?

    The programme covers Six Sigma history and philosophy, key concepts and terminology, the DMAIC methodology, the Six Sigma roles, an awareness-level introduction to core tools, and Lean Six Sigma, all in a single day with discussion and case studies.

    What is DMAIC?

    DMAIC stands for Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve and Control. It is the structured, phase-gated Six Sigma roadmap for improving existing processes, and the course walks you through what happens and why at each of the five phases.

    How long is the training?

    The course runs for one day (eight hours), covering all six modules from Six Sigma philosophy through DMAIC, key concepts, roles, tools and Lean Six Sigma, with interactive discussion and real-world examples throughout.

    Does the course cover Lean Six Sigma?

    Yes. The programme introduces Lean Six Sigma as the combined approach that pairs Lean waste elimination and flow with Six Sigma variation and defect reduction, and shows how Lean tools support the DMAIC methodology.

    Do I need a statistical background for this course?

    No. Tools such as control charts, Pareto analysis and process capability are introduced at awareness level, focusing on what they do and why, not on hands-on calculation. It is designed for a general audience.

    Enrollment

    How do I enrol in Six Sigma Awareness Training?

    You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website. Choose your preferred format, complete your booking, and you will receive joining details, schedules and course materials. Talk to a learning advisor if you would like help choosing a session.

    Can this be delivered onsite for my team?
