IntroductiON
Creating efficiency at work requires more than just a single effort. Daily working habits have to be changed, team initiatives ask for new expertise, and insights have to be shared. During the Lean practitoner training, students learn how to become the driving force for such efforts. Students acquire a wide variety of tools and insights, and learn to see and solve the underlying root-causes of any problem. The strength of a Lean Practitioner is to bring teams together. They challenge unproductive habits, involve key stakeholders, and overcome reactive problem solving. Always with one goal in mind: for everyone to meet customer demands more easily.
Quick and thorough improvements is what makes Lean so popular, especially in organizations with operational excellence goals. Through Value Stream Maps, Kaizen events and A3 projects, results stay within reach, which makes them attractive and much easier to invest time in. Organizational issues that have been a burden since day 1 can be resolved within a single month or even week. Not from behind a single desk, but through group efforts, right where the work is carried out. Besides thorough improvements, Lean activities are also quite fun, as they challenge others to think about work – either their own or in general – and improve on the old standards.
Training variants
Attend a classroom training session and enjoy interaction with fellow students. Share ideas, learn from group exercises and discuss project ideas with your trainer, even from the first day. Our classrooms are all about interactivity and our practical exercises will help you develop your own Lean insights.
Interactivity and engagement are key for all of our trainings. Together with your fellow students, you will explore various tools and methods such as Push & Pull, Poka Yoke, Kaizen events, 5S and much more. The same quality as our classroom training sessions but from the comfort of your home or office.
If your agenda is often unpredictable, or if you’re simply looking for variety, then attend both classroom and virtual training sessions with our Blended option. Get the best of both worlds, and never worry about being unprepared; all students receive access to our exclusive MyTraining™ platform, which offers videos, literature and complementary courses on the topics of the next training.
Speed is key during our Summer Course. This high-intensity option consists of 6 or 8 consecutive days of training – depending on your choice – followed by an exam to certify you in the shortest amount of time as is possible. It includes all the same content as the others options, as well as access to our MyTraining™ platform.
Curriculum
The Lean Practitioner training has been designed for professionals looking to personally employ Lean tools and methods. The Lean Practitioner training covers everything needed to begin from the basics. From the simple understanding of ‘waste’, to more complex concepts such as changing daily habits and the way people think about solving issues at work.
During the training, students perform live exercises and practice with various tools to become familiar with their application. Lean Practitioners possess the knowledge needed to optimize and refine existing processes within an organization, as well as create new working habits. In short, they establish themselves as change agents.
It is possible to use Lean tools in any industry, as any repeating process can be optimized using the tools and methods provided by the methodology. Bring process improvement to your working environment with our ISO-level courses, regardless of your field.
In the next section, we highlight what specifics the training will offer. This intensive setup has one goal: to make you into a skilled Lean expert. With each phase, your knowledge and grasp of the tools will grow, until eventually, you understand how to achieve your goals as a fully-fledged Lean Practitoner.
Getting certified

FiNancial details
Students of The Lean Six Sigma Company have two options: they can choose from a training which includes a project and all the necessary coaching from an experienced project coach, or enroll in the training without carrying out a project.
Results and cold, hard facts are often the best way to justify a purchase. Our courses are no different, and deliver said results without fail. After having trained thousands of students in the Lean methodology, we have found that Lean Practitioner projects regularly reduce costs by 6 figures, often from the very first project. And with projects taking approximately 2-3 months, it is even possible to carry out multiple projects a year.
If it’s a training for an entire team you’re looking for, then our In-Company pages will be of interest. Our trainers will also host every training we offer to individuals in your organization. There’s no easier way to get started with Lean or Lean Six Sigma as a team than with our In-Company training.

Starting Dates
FAQ
Every training we provide assumes our students start the training without any understanding of the Lean Six Sigma methodology. It starts with the fundamentals and explains every topic that is mentioned without assuming prior experience. During the training, you will carry out simulations and exercises to help you develop your knowledge. If you choose to carry out a project as part of your training, you will be coached and assisted by one of the (Master) Black Belts of The Lean Six Sigma Company to help you get started.
Lean Practitioners have a different role than Lean Leaders. They carry out Lean Initiatives on a constant basis and involve stakeholders in their efforts. Lean Leaders on the other hand possess a wider range of knowledge of Lean, and train employees so they can start using the Lean methodology themselves.
Lean is a methodology that one can start using during any career phase and this training is the ideal starting point. Even as a beginner, your work can add tremendous value. Lean can serve as an addition to your current work, replacing a part of your existing responsibilities. Or it can become a new full-time career, depending on the training you choose.
The Lean Six Sigma Company strives to organize its courses training during normal working hours.
This is a conscious choice in order to avoid interfering with the private lives of our students and to get students used to the idea of working with Lean Six Sigma during typical working hours, and continue this habit once they complete the training.
