The Lean Six Sigma course was excellent overall and brilliantly delivered. I will use the tools, methodology and mindset in work' The introduction of lean thinking and mindset with an aim to reduce waste and increase efficiency was most useful.

Excellent trainer - loads of examples and relevant experience. Very engaging. The knowledge I gained from today will help me form a more structured interview going forward.
