What Our Learners Say...

5 Star Rating Feedback: "The philosophy and principles of Kaizen was interesting and meaningful. This qualification demonstrates to potential employers that I'm keen to maintain my CPD and am invested in Lean approaches to work. Additionally, I have an ambition to take a Business Analysis qualification through the BCS. This course has encouraged me in that I can successfully study for a formal qualification at this stage of my career. I received excellent support and detailed feedback throughout the course. Early in the programme, I contacted my tutor to ask for a steer on the level of detail I needed to provide in the assessments. Rather than simply email me back, my tutor gave me a call and we had a really useful discussion. I found it reassuring that the support was genuinely there if you needed it." - Paul

5 Star Rating Feedback: "The part of the qualification which I most enjoyed was learning about the principles of Kaizen because they are fascinating. The qualification will help be in the future because it will allow me to incorporate the different lean organisation management techniques if I become a team leader or a manager. My assessor was quick to respond and gave clear guidance in response to my questions. He was also very clear in his supporting statement at the end of each
