Description

One of the most frequent challenges we hear from organisations, is that while they want to improve, they struggle to find the time. Sound familiar? If it does then our Lean Practitioner Yellow Belt course is right for you..

Rather than presenting a set of tools, this in-house classroom course combines Lean tools, soft skills & psychology with improvement principles (improve flow, identify value, PDSA, mapping the value stream etc.) within a proven Kaizen methodology. Kaizen events are short but very effective improvement workshops designed to tackle problems quickly and effectively whilst stimulating a lean improvement culture in all levels of the organisation.

This ensures you will leave with an ability not just to apply Lean improvement but to make it work effectively in your organisation, from day one.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
