Content was good, overall. The generative AI use was poor quality and a little distracting but didn't effect the content. I didn't realize this was service industry oriented when I got it, so that could be more clear. Solid course and I would recommend it for people I know in service industries. The information is still there either way. This could easily be a 4/5 to others.

By David Wright on 8/13/2026

lots of good information, but like other AIGPE courses, there is a lot of repetition. The whole course could easy be cut by 40% by applying the 5S principles that it is actually teaching you !!!! and the AI artwork is an unnecessary distraction.

By John Merritt on 4/21/2026

Vivid, real and practical training that hits the target dead center. Incredible teacher, Extremely dense and relevant training.

By Aubrey Hanks on 7/21/2025

Good analysis of the 5S system and how it benefits industries that are service-oriented with more qualitative-driven results.

I learnt a lot fRom this course on how to apply the 5s principle to achieve increased efficiency AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION IN A SERVICE INDUSTY

By Seow Kiat Lee on 4/4/2025

Course introduction video seems not for this program of 5s> Is more for KAIZEN event. Others segments so far they are very good.

By Benoit Cassista on 2/22/2025

I would have given 5 stars but the PowerPoint summary of the course is way too big and most of it is unnecessary AI generated images.

By Adedeji Oluwatosin Adeloro on 2/18/2025

This is a thoroughly developed course! The teaching style is superb, and the content is deep, practical, and easy to apply in different work environments. I appreciate the efforts made in including interactive scenarios that made the learning to be deeply engaging and ready for practical applications.
