Here's what learners had to say about this course
This course was fantastic! I had a few weeks free between consulting projects, and was glad to find this course as it allowed me to go at my own pace, so I could sprint through a lot of material on my schedule. Lots of information, lots of flexibility, and above all, the staff at Acuity were extremely responsive and helpful. They went above and beyond helping to clarify topics in the course and helping me log the hours as PDU’s through the Project Management Institute…Super kudos to Stephanie for top notch customer service!
I had the pleasure to recently complete my Lean Six Sigma Green Belt (LSSGB) certification from Acuity Institute. The course material is developed in easy to understand concepts, and how they can be applied in the real world to achieve business and organizational benefits.
This course has helped me to further enhance my leadership skills, problem solving skills as well as analyzing and improving business processes. The course provides in depth understanding of the DMAIC (Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control) road map and has taught me how to collect and analyze performance data, identify inefficiencies and problems, pinpoint root causes, and institute new protocols to greatly improve processes. The course covers Lean and Six Sigma methodologies and helps to develop skills in leading a team through the process of change. The course has a practical and applied focus.
The team of Acuity Institute is greatly helpful in helping the learners to understand concepts and willing to help candidates to help them succeed, I would highly recommend the Institute and this course to anyone who is looking to do Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Certification.
Complete course…right balance of theory and practical part. It can be used immediately even if you are in the beginning of the course and you get your certification at the same time your project is done. It gives you a large time of one year to complete your course. I recommend this especially to those like me have constraints in their job’s time schedule but want to learn anyway.
The Lean Six Sigma Green Belt course was really well done. It provided all of the necessary tools and instructions for me to understand and apply learned concepts into real world situations. The pace of course is good and does not consume a lot of time. Overall, this was a positive experience and has changed my way of analyzing a problem.
