IntroductiON
Creating efficiency at work requires more than just a single effort. Daily working habits have to be changed, team initiatives ask for new expertise, and insights have to be shared. During the Lean practitoner training, students learn how to become the driving force for such efforts. Students acquire a wide variety of tools and insights, and learn to see and solve the underlying root-causes of any problem. The strength of a Lean Practitioner is to bring teams together. They challenge unproductive habits, involve key stakeholders, and overcome reactive problem solving. Always with one goal in mind: for everyone to meet customer demands more easily.
Quick and thorough improvements are what makes Lean so popular, especially in organisations with operational excellence goals. Through Value Stream Maps, Kaizen events and A3 projects, results stay within reach, which makes them attractive and much easier to invest time in. Organisational issues that have been a burden since day 1 can be resolved within a single month or even a week. Not from behind a single desk, but through group efforts, right where the work is carried out. Besides thorough improvements, Lean activities are also quite fun, as they challenge others to think about work – either their own or in general – and improve on the old standards.

The course set-up explained
Our programme is meticulously crafted to facilitate the application of your newly acquired knowledge and skills in a practical setting. In the featured video, our lead instructor and Master Black Belt, Michel Doppert, elucidates the benefits and expectations of undertaking our Lean Practitioner course. Below, we present the six key stages to evolve into a results-oriented Lean Practitioner.
Upon enrolment, you gain access to the MyTraining learning platform. This is where you can find the details on your programme, and where you can track the progress of your learning journey.
From here, you can also access your online learning materials, including a full suite of explanatory videos, digital books, and access to full online courses that go in-depth on a variety of Continuous Improvement subjects.
Throughout your entire journey and beyond, you will have access to our online suite of instructional videos, digital books and several in-depth full courses, found on our separate e-learning platform ‘The Productivity Company’.
These materials are available to you in perpetuity, and they offer you the opportunity to revisit your learning insights at any point in time – whether it is as preparation, a refresher or just to brush up on the finer details of the craft.
Your classroom training will walk you through the background, theory and practical aspects of Lean Six Sigma – with a strong emphasis on the latter.
During your classroom training you will not only learn directly from the instructor, but also from the insights and case studies of your peers.
As you progress through this part of the programme, your new insights, and the aid of your instructor will help you formulate and prepare for your first project.
Much of the work in a project lies in its formulation and planning, which is woven throughout every step of your programme.
After your classroom training, when you are ready, you will set to work on an improvement project directed at achieving actual results for your organisation.
Upon successful completion of your theory exams and your improvement project, you will receive official, internationally recognised certification in your new role.
This certification proves beyond a shadow of doubt that you possess the required competencies according to international Lean Six Sigma quality standards.
Of course, while your programme may officially end upon certification, your Continuous Improvement journey is never-ending.
Even after certification, you will receive continued support from your instructor, retain access to all learning materials, and gain access to our community of alumni.
At this point you can look back at your programme with pride, and forward to your future with well-earned confidence.

FAQ
Every training we provide assumes our students start the training without any understanding of the Lean Six Sigma methodology. It starts with the fundamentals and explains every topic that is mentioned without assuming prior experience. During the training, you will carry out simulations and exercises to help you develop your knowledge. If you choose to carry out a project as part of your training, you will be coached and assisted by one of the (Master) Black Belts of The Lean Six Sigma Company to help you get started.
Lean Practitioners have a different role than Lean Leaders. They carry out Lean Initiatives on a constant basis and involve stakeholders in their efforts. Lean Leaders on the other hand possess a wider range of knowledge of Lean, and train employees so they can start using the Lean methodology themselves.
Lean is a methodology that one can start using during any career phase and this training is the ideal starting point. Even as a beginner, your work can add tremendous value. Lean can serve as an addition to your current work, replacing a part of your existing responsibilities. Or it can become a new full-time career, depending on the training you choose.
The Lean Six Sigma Company strives to organize its courses training during normal working hours.
This is a conscious choice in order to avoid interfering with the private lives of our students and to get students used to the idea of working with Lean Six Sigma during typical working hours, and continue this habit once they complete the training.
However, some local exceptions apply. Please reach out to to the helpdesk in your region if you have any questions
More information about our worldwide presence can be found on our theleansixsigmacompany.eu worldmap page, here you will find in which countries we are currently active and offer training.
