Bonne formation , très intéréssante et bien structurée
Tom.willekens
This is a very efficient course, and helpfull
Sharon2703
As an overview of the background and use of Lean Six Sigma this course is ok, however, it does not go in to how the tools and methodologies are used on a practical basis or very much detail on the responsibilities of a Yellow Belt or how a Yellow Belt specifically contributes to these for the wider team.
sam.denyer2
Easy to use!
Williamthomas497
I thought the lessons were well structed and bitsize, which was good from a learning and focus standpoint. The videos as well as the text was also good as it allows for flexibility over learning.
Brian Turriff
Good course, personally I feel I would have benefited from receiving this course in person rather than online so we could interact with tutor and other candidates. Found it difficult to remember all the abbreviations and what they meant
irentoulis
Very good course, I have enjoyed it.
Havilah
great course
Douglas1984
Very Well presented and understandable, as well as preparing the candidate for real world outcomes of projects as well as human nature insights.
tmilton
Insightful and thorough overview and introduction to LSS!
Chris Milligan
Has given me an understanding of how I can help my organization improve, and how I can continuously improve myself.
alaura.bruce
A good and clear introduction to Lean Six Sigma, that inspired me to continue my LSS education and look at how some of the principles/tools can be used in my workplace. Didn’t take as long as I expected (3 hours), and so I feel it’s a bit expensive.
James Murphy
Enjoyed the course, Test questions were really good and idea of sitting an exam makes sense by forcing you to go back over your notes and do the study. Now on to Green Belt!
Kerry Panter
Thank you, I have really enjoyed the accessibility of this on line course, which I have been able to do at times that suit my diary. Very helpful.
Gresham
