Lean6sigma Academy made it both affordable, and easy to complete on my schedule with modules I could start and stop when I needed, and could reply if I wanted to take extra notes or make sure I understood part of a lesson. Riaan and Clare were great instructors. Their examples and analogies made the concepts much easier to grasp. And I love some of the quotes I took down from them like, "All improvements will require change, but not all change will result in improvement" and "Our customers are the only ones who can define what a good job looks like". I highly recommend the course to anyone looking to get their Yellow belt.
