Package:

It is expected that the Yellow Belt training would be part of an overall Six Sigma roll out programme in an organisation; enabling a large number of stakeholders to have a better understanding of the role of Six Sigma and how they can help.  Pricing would be dependent on the scale of the roll out and the number of people involved.  However, a budget price would be £1300 to £1500 per two day programme, for up to 12 delegates per course.
