What clients say about our Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Training
I am a repeat customer from the Yellow Belt course. I chose to return to Professional Development to undertake the Green Belt course due to the professionalism of the tutor and his incredibly informative yet relaxed approach to facilitation which suits my way of learning.
The course was hugely informative yet practical, the group exercises allowed us to apply the learning to real issues which helped to contextualise everything.
I could not fault the delivery, schedule, nor administration of the course. A thoroughly positive experience in all aspects.
I received good support from Professional Development, from booking this course, for making sure I was prepared for this course before it began and in the aftermath of taking this course. I would highly recommend anyone else do a course with Professional Development, as both their training and administration team offered me high quality support throughout my training.
Programme was very well organised – specifically, with the extensive use of the Dropbox, I could easily access any slides, supporting documents etc. both during and after the training. Content was provided in a clear and concise manner – there was ample support and clarification being provided by the trainer any time anything was unclear.
I would rate the service provided to me by my training consultant plus the booking process 10/10. I was given ample information to access the course, supporting documentation and slides to navigate the course content and any queries I had in relation to the course were responded to quickly and efficiently.
One of the strengths of this course that was greatly appreciated was the constant discussion around the assignments. Once new information was covered in the course, the assignments would be reviewed and any questions asked around what was required. Another strength of this course was the well organised Dropbox, which made following along with the slides and reading documents outside course hours incredibly accessible.
The live virtual classroom worked well beyond my expectations. A few exercises, especially team exercises, could have been improved if they were held in-person, however taking the current situation into mind, the virtual classroom worked smoothly, team exercises were easy to co-ordinate and apart from minor technology issues, the overall experience was good.
Very positive experience. Great preparation & organisation and very clear course content. Absolutely loved the discussions & exercises.
Great means of knowledge transfer and timed very well by the trainer. He was an exceptional facilitator - his ability to provide a massive amount of practical examples on the content & going outside the standard curriculum to provide us with additional tools & techniques we could apply in the ‘real world’.
The trainer provided exceptional content on the course above and beyond what was required to complete the assessment. I was particularly impressed with the direction he provided on completion of the assessment.
Very valuable and have not had that positive experience on any of the 7 training courses I have already completed since March. Great experience overall!!
