What’s different about Lean Consulting’s Lean Six Sigma Courses
Our Lean Six Sigma training is engaging, fun and Interactive. Most importantly it is 100% effective in delivering learning outcomes. We provide every level of Lean Six Sigma training, from white belt to black belt and we can deliver in classroom environments, online or a mix of both.
Our courses are full of simulations and exercises so you can practice using the tools and techniques during the course. Learning by doing has continually proven to be the most effective method of learning.
We’re expert’s in process improvement – that’s all we do. So it makes sense to learn from the experts. Other training companies offer training for nearly everything you can think of – but they tend to be a jack of all trades and master of none.
Is your training independently recognised and certified?
We are a member of the CPD certification service. Our courses certified to the Continuing Professional Development Certification standard which will also appear on your delegate certificates of achievement.
All our Lean Six Sigma courses have been aligned to the ISO 13053 standard framework and IASSC.
Our bespoke training has been accredited externally by internationally recognised bodies such as LERC, the Lean Enterprise Research Centre.

Do I have to pay extra for my certification or certificate?
Nope.
Do you just offer online training?
No – we advertise public courses throughout the UK. We also run training programmes onsite at our customer’s workplaces. To find out more, please have a look at our Training Courses page.
Why don’t you have online versions of everything?
Some of our courses aren’t suitable for online learning – it’s the reason we don’t offer a Black Belt course online. A Black Belt need to be able to coach and mentor other Green Belts and it’s difficult to learn this through self paced online training.
There are some other courses we intend to make online. However it’s time consuming and expensive to make (but totally worth it!). Our online training is of extremely high quality. All course are broken into short modules which need to be scripted and animated to ensure the best learning outcomes for you. Then it needs to be professionally shot in a studio and edited together to produce high-quality output.
We continue to develop our offering – we’ll have more course for online available soon.
Can I use the course on a mobile device?
Yes, all our course videos are mobile optimised, making it easy for you to watch videos or access materials from wherever you are and whenever you like.
Other courses make me buy Minitab – Do you?
Nope. Minitab is a great statistical analysis software programme but it’s expensive and few workplaces have it. Even if they have it there tends to be a lack of licences available for others to use.
Most people who complete Lean Six Sigma training never go on to use Minitab again – so it’s strange to teach people on a system they will likely never use again.
We’ve built templates in excel that allow you to do all the statistical analysis you’ll ever need. More than you’ll ever need. And everyone tends to have access to MS Excel. When you complete our training, you’ll get a download of all the tools and templates in MS Excel, MS PowerPoint and MS Word.
How will I benefit from your training?
You’ll learn how to apply to Lean Six Sigma tools and techniques to practically deliver improvements to any organizations’ processes. Lean Six Sigma trained professionals are highly sorted after and can command a strong remuneration in the marketplace.
Do I get any course materials?
For the classroom-based courses, we provide a workbook and a USB stick pre-loaded with all your tools and templates.
For online courses, you can download course content throughout the training and download the tools and templates too.
Do you just offer classroom training?
No – we have online courses available too for our most popular courses.

Online training is pretty terrible – what makes yours different?
It’s an industry-leading, unique approach to online training. Our training is made up entirely of videos, professionally filmed in a studio and presented by a Lean Expert and mixed with animation to keep the content interesting. No voice over boring PowerPoint slides exists in our courses. Or random guys standing next to flip charts.
