What do our customers say
Sarah DuFresne
I'm going to be honest, this training was a lot of general filler with no substance. You can't really walk out of this course with any applicable tools to implement. It's all vague ideas, abbreviations, and historical definitions. I don't see this as being valuable, I'm sorry.
Tina Cadle
Great overarching course in LSS history, definitions, structuring organisations, concepts, expectations and application. In particular for me the role of Champion, where we don't have a PMO or Master Black Belt, only a CI team.
Kirsten Jolly
Really good paced course with clear descriptions of the models and processes. There was a question in my 2nd and 3rd exam attempts that did not make sense though which caused me to fail on my second attempt. 'The benefits of a Lean Six Sigma programme should always be seen in terms of...' with answers of either True or False!
