The Certified Six Sigma Yellow Belt Handbook

Initially, while doing the ASQ question banks offered on the site and attempting to utilize this book to answer the questions, I was unimpressed. This book is not intended to be a one stop shop for all the answers you will need to pass the test. However, if you use this book and complete the question banks on the ASQ site and use the results to fill in the knowledge gaps for the things that aren't covered in the book, it is an excellent resource. I took this exact approach and printed out 13 pages of copy and pasted notes on things not covered in depth in the book and took both my printed notes and the book to the test and was able to pass with relative ease and with 45 minutes (out of 138 minutes allowed) remaining. Use it as a study guide and a test reference and you will have no problem passing the test.

Well written and easy to work through, good examples that reflect reality.

Great reference book. I purchased as required reading for an online course I was taking. I intend to keep this close by as reference for my daily job function.Mike M.

The book helps out a lot as a review of the prep course offered by ASQ, and had many of the exam questions in the book (the test is open book so this is huge!)Definitely recommend for anyone taking the CSSYB exam.

Excellent book if you want to get your yellow belt. This book really digs into 6 sigma and explains things in an easy to understand way.

I bought the handbook because I was taking the classes online but I probably didn't need to. I used it for the first 4 week session, but I ended up not using it for the rest of the class. It was an interesting read, but I just needed to get my certification. If you go on to get the green belt, maybe it would be useful to have.

I used this book and the ASQ CSSYB Study Guide as review for the exam, and passed it last week. Overall its a very basic coverage of Six Sigma topics. I took the handbook with me to the exam so that I could use it to check my answers since I had extra time.There were a few questions on the exam that the handbook didn't cover in enough detail.

The book is rather thin, but covers all the information one needs. The writing is in a condensed form, but gives lots of examples and background information. I have read many study books that were twice (or thrice) the volume of this handbook, but the Yellow Belt Handbook is all one needs to succeed at the LSSYB-exam!
