You'll Love Our Lean Training
3,000+ organizations trust us to train and certify their teams.
I got my Black Belt from GoLeanSixSigma.com and they’re by far one of the most user-friendly and client experience driven companies that I have ever encountered.
I had my entire team gain their Lean Six Sigma Green Belt through them and the content made sense to everyone – from those with little to no experience with Six Sigma and to those who were experienced. The interactive videos and training allow users to learn the material at their own pace and then to practically apply the information learned.
GoLeanSixSigma.com’s courses have put our teams on the right continuous improvement path. I had a lot of fun working on my project and their templates made the process so much easier and enjoyable. I’m really looking forward to upcoming projects.

As always, GLSS has put together a comprehensive program. This time on Lean. I felt that the material was well presented and the exams helped solidify the learnings. Thanks!
Great content. Would recommend this training.
Good place to get beginner knowledge on Lean.
There is always something new to learn.
All the terms I have seen over the years... now I know where they came from.
Really enjoyed it! I feel confident now to generate a positive cultural based on eliminating Waste
Great re-fresher for both new and veteran learners. Modules are simple enough to understand but not overloaded with content that may overwhelm the learner.
This is effective training that makes it easy to follow and absorb the concepts. I would like to know which of the test answers I answered incorrectly to expand my understanding of the topics.
5 stars - would recommend
Informative and well thought out course information.
