    Understand Six Sigma and How It Drives Everyday QualityA Practical One-Day Introduction

    The Six Sigma Awareness Training in Ireland is a one-day introductory course that gives employees, managers and leaders a clear, working understanding of the Six Sigma methodology and the DMAIC improvement approach. It is designed for people who work alongside Six Sigma practitioners and want to contribute to improvement projects without becoming Green Belts or Black Belts. Six Sigma is a data-driven approach to reducing variation and eliminating defects, developed at Motorola in the 1980s and made globally famous by GE. This course grounds you in the established Six Sigma body of knowledge: the philosophy and business case, the goal of fewer than 3.4 defects per million opportunities, the five phases of DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, Control), key concepts such as variation, DPMO and Critical to Quality, the Six Sigma roles from Champion to Yellow Belt, and how Lean Six Sigma combines waste elimination with variation reduction. Ireland is a world leader in operational excellence and a European hub for pharmaceutical, medtech and technology manufacturing, so a shared Six Sigma vocabulary is increasingly valued across its workforce. This is a non-certification programme with no exam. Learning is reinforced through case studies, interactive discussion and team exercises, and you receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning.

    Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

    Six Sigma Awareness Training is a one-day, non-certification course that introduces the Six Sigma methodology, the DMAIC approach, key concepts and terminology, the Six Sigma roles, and Lean Six Sigma. It is designed for employees, managers and leaders who want to understand Six Sigma and support improvement projects.

    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 approach, key concepts and terminology, the Six Sigma roles, and Lean Six Sigma. It is designed for employees, managers and leaders who want to understand Six Sigma and support improvement projects.

    Who should attend this Six Sigma course?

    The course suits anyone who works alongside Six Sigma projects, including team members, supervisors, managers, project sponsors and senior leaders. It is also ideal for professionals considering a Yellow Belt or Green Belt later, and for HR or operations staff supporting a Six Sigma deployment.

    Is Six Sigma Awareness Training worth it for my team?

    Yes. A shared Six Sigma vocabulary lets everyone support improvement projects from day one, which is why organisations run this training before launching Six Sigma or Lean Six Sigma programmes. In Ireland's pharma, medtech and tech sectors, that shared awareness is highly valued. Talk to a learning advisor to plan a rollout.

    Do I need any prior experience or statistics knowledge?

    No. There are no prerequisites. The course is designed for a general audience with no assumed background in quality management, statistics or Six Sigma, so anyone in any role or industry can attend and follow along.

    How long is the training and what does a day cover?

    The training runs for one day, around eight hours. It covers Six Sigma history and philosophy, key concepts and terminology, the five phases of DMAIC, the Six Sigma roles, an awareness-level look at the core tools, and Lean Six Sigma, with case studies and discussion throughout.

    Pricing

    How much does Six Sigma Awareness Training cost in Ireland?

    Pricing depends on the delivery mode and group size, so a current quote is available on request. On-site and group delivery is often the most cost-effective option for training whole teams. Request a quote and a learning advisor will share the latest pricing.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee includes the full one-day instructor-led programme covering all six modules, practical case studies and team exercises, course materials, and a course completion record from Invensis Learning. There are no hidden extras.

    Do you offer group or corporate pricing?

    Yes. We offer corporate and group pricing for teams, departments and whole sites, with schedules built around your availability. This is a popular option for organisations launching a Six Sigma programme. Contact us for a tailored group quote.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers for individual bookings, and invoice-based billing for corporate and group enrolments. Speak with a learning advisor to arrange the option that suits you.

    Is there any exam fee to pay?

    No. This is a non-certification course with no exam, so there is no exam fee. You pay only the training fee, which covers the full one-day programme and your course materials.

    Assessment

    Is there an exam for Six Sigma Awareness Training?

    No. This is a non-certification course, so there is no exam. Learning is reinforced through interactive discussion, real-world case studies and team exercises during the day, letting you apply the concepts to your own work as you go.

    Do I get any proof of completing the training?

    Yes. On finishing the one-day programme you receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning. This confirms you have completed the awareness training and built a working understanding of Six Sigma.

    How is my learning assessed during the course?

    There is no formal assessment. Instead, interactive discussions, case study examples and team exercises throughout the day let you check and apply your understanding, connecting Six Sigma concepts directly to situations from your own workplace.

    Does this training qualify me to lead Six Sigma projects?

    No. This is an awareness-level introduction, not a practitioner qualification. It prepares you to understand and support improvement projects. To lead DMAIC projects, you would progress to Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt, Green Belt or Black Belt training.

    What will I be able to do after the training?

    Afterwards you can explain what Six Sigma is, use its vocabulary confidently, follow all five phases of DMAIC, understand the roles from Champion to Yellow Belt, take part effectively in project teams, and understand Lean Six Sigma as the combined improvement approach.

    Course Content

    What topics does the Six Sigma Awareness course cover?

    The course covers Six Sigma history, philosophy and the business case, key concepts and metrics such as variation, DPMO and CTQ, the full DMAIC methodology, the Six Sigma roles, an awareness-level introduction to the core tools, and Lean Six Sigma in practice across industries.

    What is DMAIC and is it covered in the training?

    Yes, DMAIC is central to the course. It is the five-phase Six Sigma roadmap: Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve and Control. You learn what happens in each phase, the tools and tollgate reviews involved, and why the structure keeps improvement grounded in data.

    Does the course cover Lean Six Sigma?

    Yes. The final module introduces Lean Six Sigma, which combines Lean waste elimination and flow with Six Sigma variation and defect reduction. You learn how Lean tools complement DMAIC and how most modern improvement programmes use the combined approach.

    What Six Sigma roles will I learn about?

    You learn the full Six Sigma role hierarchy: Champion, Master Black Belt, Black Belt, Green Belt and Yellow Belt, along with the process owner. The course explains how each role contributes to the success of a Six Sigma improvement programme.

    What learning materials are provided?

    You receive structured course materials covering all six modules, real-world case study examples and team exercises used during the session, and a course completion record from Invensis Learning on finishing the programme.

    Enrollment

    How do I enrol in the Six Sigma Awareness course?

    You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website. Choose your preferred format and dates, complete your booking, and you will receive joining details and access to your course materials. A learning advisor can help you pick the right session.

    What delivery formats are available?

    The training is available online (live virtual) instructor-led, in a classroom, and as corporate on-site delivery for teams. This lets individuals and organisations across Ireland choose the format that best fits their schedule and location.

    How soon can I start and when are the next dates?

    New public sessions run regularly, and corporate on-site dates can be arranged to suit your team. Because the programme is just one day, teams can be trained quickly. View upcoming schedules or contact us to confirm the next available dates.

    Can you deliver the training on site for our team in Ireland?

    Yes. On-site corporate delivery across Ireland is one of the most popular options, especially for training whole sites or departments at once. We build the schedule around your shift patterns and availability. Ask about corporate and group delivery.
