Claudius –
Great course, the voice over needs to be more clear. a lot more visual’s would be helpful for understanding and explaining instead of the use of text majority of the times.
Roberto –
well presented and good online course, sometimes experienced audio error but after refreshing the page it works clearly.
Reginald –
Good course, well structured for online self learning.
Niki –
I found that just having the slides and someone talking without also being able to have documented materials to be able to come back to to refresh my memory quite unhelpful and really mpacted on my ability to properly absorb the information and truly learn from the program
David –
This was a great course, and I got what I expected for the low price. My only complaint would be the lack of support, it doesn’t advertise support, but it also doesn’t say no support included. This was only a Yellow Belt, but should I have gone for Green or Black I would have liked support for peace of mind.
Sanja –

Very effective training. It gives a good insight into the Lean Six Sigma process. Just one feedback – most of the examples are from manufacturing industry and very few from services industry. It might be useful to add few from services industry as well.

jennifer –
I thought the course was great, really interesting and easy to follow. I hadn’t had any Lean Six Sigma training before the course. The reason for taking the course was because I have applied for a new role within my current organisation which requires some knowledge of Lean Six Sigma.
mark –
The course was very well written and went in to good detail about lean six sigma. I was impressed the way lean sigma was sold as being important as it made you feel you were learning something important. The only slight problem was finding where you had previously finished your course work as the progress bar was quite wide but this is a minor issue. I would recommend the lean six sigma course to anyone who wants to get a good grounding in it. Many thanks

A very comprehensive, detailed and well put together course. I think having a lean six sigma mindset are the foundation bricks but the content of the course certainly the adds the `motar’.
