What clients say about our Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Training
“I'm honestly delighted with the training, it was very practical and really well delivered, possibly the best training I've been on.”
“My experience in doing this course with Professional Development was very enriching, considered it is my second time. I'm very glad overall.
The strongest aspect was how detailed and clear the presentation and structuring of each topic were. My knowledge and skills has definitely improved with this course and really enjoy the exchange in the room. I would definitely recommend Professional Development to my colleagues which I'm sure I've already did.
[The trainer] is a very good tutor to whom I would say a massive THANK YOU!”
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.
