Very Good: By this training I have gained a deep understanding of the lean six-sigma techniques by self-learning. I really enjoyed this course and can recommend it.
Michelle –
Awesome! Enjoyed it and just the right amont of information. Didn’t really enjoy MiniTab. Hopefully there is an option to view how you can do it in FREE tools or Excel.
Guillem –
The course is clear and concise. It will help me a lot. I would appreciate though if there were Excel alternatives pre-compiled to the mini-tab for conducting the statisitcal analysis. It is rather simple to build an Hyposthesis validation test in Excel, but it takes some additional time.
kieron –
Superb: really enjoyed the process (particularly owing to the course structure) & have many incredible takeaways.

A very detailed and well laid out course, I agree that some of the topics are very long and the exam questions can catch you out if you are not careful.

Very Good course and very comprehensive. Good statistics level to understand/remind yourself control charts , limits theorem, probabilities etc. A few mistakes in the slides but you can easily see them and ignore. Well presented and analytical overall.
Michael –
I really enjoyed this course, I was able to learn at my own pace which is great when you have a family. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to improve their knowledge on Lean Six Sigma methodologies.
Iain –
The course is well constructed and explains the concepts well. Some of the dialogue could be faster and the volume of recording on some of the modules was too low. Each module could have a test at the end with worked answers to help build confidence that the material has sunk in or to serve as a flag to the student that further study may be required. Overall a good experience. I would recommend it.
