Certified Lean Six Sigma White/Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt (Udemy.com)

Accredited Lean Six Sigma White Belt And Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt, Including Lean Six Sigma Case Based On Real Project

Created by: Six Sigma Academy Amsterdam (SSAA)

Last updated August 2026

Our take

Based on the ratings of 19,103 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in August 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is two entry-level Lean Six Sigma courses packed into one: a white belt overview and a yellow belt toolkit. It runs about 4.5 hours across 69 lectures and 8 quizzes. It opens with a walkthrough of a real project, then moves into the 7 quality tools, applied in Excel. The syllabus lists no prerequisites. The teaching comes from Six Sigma Academy Amsterdam, a group of university lecturers. It is aimed at managers, auditors and quality staff who want the vocabulary and a first set of tools.

Reviewers keep praising the same thing: the explanations are easy to follow. They like the short, focused videos and the real-life examples, and one mentions a bit of humour. A student with B1 English said they understood everything. Another says they passed the white belt exam easily. Complaints are rare. Of roughly 19,100 ratings, only 245 are one or two stars, and about 1,400 are three stars. One reviewer wanted more explanation, and another reported that the iOS app kept looping two videos.

The pull here is speed. At 4.5 hours it is a fast way in, and it was last updated in August 2026. Know what the certificate is, though. The Udemy one marks completion, and the SSAA exam is free, optional and run outside Udemy. The course itself admits Lean Six Sigma has no single agreed standard, so check what your employer expects. One reviewer preparing for the green belt says it strengthened their grasp of the concepts. Good starting point, not a substitute for deeper training.

Best forManagers, auditors and quality staff who want a quick first pass at Lean Six Sigma, with no prior experience needed.
Skip it ifYou need green belt depth, heavy statistics, or one agreed certification that your employer recognizes.

Pros

  • Short videos with real-life examples, and reviewers call the explanations easy to follow
  • Opens with a real Lean Six Sigma project, giving a big-picture view before the tools
  • Two belts in about 4.5 hours, with 8 quizzes to check what you picked up
  • Optional free SSAA exam, and one reviewer says they passed the white belt exam easily

Cons

  • Only 4.5 hours, so tools are covered at an introductory level, not green belt depth
  • The Udemy certificate is just completion; the official exam is separate and optional
  • One reviewer reported the iOS app looping videos 12 and 13 and not moving on
Nice delivery, easy to understand. I was able to easily pass the white belt exam through Six Sigma. That's a very good sign. :)
Theresa Grider, a student

Beginner level fits: no requirements are listed, the course says no prior experience is needed, and the yellow belt tools are applied in Excel.

Course Description

Certified Lean Six Sigma White/Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt

NOTE: At the end of this course, students will obtain a certificate of completion from Udemy. Students also have the option to apply for free, optional, extra Lean Six Sigma examination and certification + official credits. This external, free and optional examination/certification occurs outside the Udemy platform, requires registration (name, email and a link to your relevant Udemy certificate) and is offered by SSAA (Six Sigma Academy Amsterdam) which is an independent, academic-run training and certification institute with dual accreditation: (UK CPD and Dutch higher education BKO).

LEAN SIX SIGMA

Lean Six Sigma is a decades old methodology. Without going into too much detail, you can summarize the goal of lean six sigma as: Reducing non value adding activities and thereby cutting costs, as well as improving quality by eliminating unwanted deviations from norms. These are goals that we strive for in pretty much every single sector and for that reason Lean Six Sigma is useful in every sector such as for instance the IT sector, health care, manufacturing, banking etc.

The mastery of Lean Six Sigma is shown in belt colors. The classic sequence of belts is Lean Six Sigma white belt, followed by Lean Six Sigma yellow belt, Lean Six Sigma green belt and Lean Six Sigma black belt.

Lean Six Sigma professionals have a very concrete set of skills. This set of skills has proven to be extremely useful when improving quality and consistency and reducing costs. It’s great for process improvement. This is the reason why Lean Six Sigma professionals are in high demand in all fields. It’s best if you convince yourself by actually having a look on the internet at job vacancies and associated earnings.

Please note that unlike some other subjects, Lean Six Sigma does not have a universally agreed upon body of knowledge, or a universally agreed upon training and certification procedure. We are very open about this issue, because it should be known by every prospective Lean Six Sigma student. Make an informed decision by reviewing your (employer’s) Lean Six Sigma needs/expectations and compare that with what various Lean Six Sigma training institutes are offering in terms of training and certification and subsequently choose the training and certification that best meets those needs.

SIX SIGMA ACADEMY AMSTERDAM

Six Sigma academy Amsterdam (SSAA) is an initiative of an international group of university lecturers from Holland who have supervised projects at some of the largest organizations in and outside Holland. The aim was to teach what we already taught offline to university students and make that training more affordable, more accessible, more convenient, whilst making sure that it was practical, fun and easy to grasp. You do not need a particular set of mathematics or statistics skills to keep up. This Lean Six Sigma training is going to be very accessible for people from various educational backgrounds.


The Dutch BKO accreditation is an academic grade type of accreditation which differs from an accreditation that commercial parties offer to training institutes. This type of accreditation can only be obtained by academics. Although it is a Dutch accreditation, our experience shows that it is extremely well received outside Holland as well because of the academic nature.

Super, wszystko wytłumaczone w bardzo prosty sposób, z konkretnymi przykładami. Pomimo tego, że mój angielski jest na poziomie B1, wszystko rozumiem i nie ma z tym problemu :)

By Mahendra Rajput on 8/30/2026

The course content is very crisp, clear, and easy to understand. I particularly liked how the course is divided into short, focused videos with practical, real-life examples, which makes the learning experience more engaging and interesting. I really enjoyed the Six Sigma course, as it has strengthened my understanding of the concepts and will be very helpful in my preparation for the Six Sigma Green Belt certification.

By Ibrahim Sakor on 7/26/2026

The content is awesome. The udemy app isn’t showing all videos. it’s continuously repeating video 12 and 13 and not switching the Video 14 on. OS: iOS latest version, iPhone 14

By Ka Wai Fan on 7/11/2026

SSAA has made the basic concepts of Lean Six Sigma an enjoyable learning experience that can be easily absorbed. Most of the concepts have been encountered at work and used in projects, but the course helps reinforced them and explained why certain tools are used and how. This has been a pleasant self-learning process and great start of my goal to become an expert in Lean Six Sigma.

By Marlene Domingo on 7/2/2026

This is really catching my interest. I have been in retail management and restaurant management before and this falls along the lines of what i used to do.

By Keelan Geraghty on 3/24/2026

I feel it is a good match so far, especially because it is easing us into the world of six sigma. The videos are also high quality and easy to follow. I'm excited to delve deeper!

By Josh Sanchez on 3/18/2026
