Course Description

CERTIFIED 8D PROBLEM SOLVING EXPERT

Fix Complex Failures | Lead High-Stakes Investigations | Earn 6+ Pre-approved PDUs | PDCs | CPDs | CEUs

Solving a problem is one thing. Preventing it from ever returning? That's Expert Work.

Welcome to the Certified 8D Problem Solving Expert Course, the most advanced, globally accredited program for mastering the 8D methodology across any industry.

This isn’t just a problem-solving framework. It’s a strategic system designed to eliminate recurring failures, drive lasting change, and protect your organization’s reputation, performance, and bottom line.

This course takes you beyond the basics. You’ll learn how to lead structured investigations, influence cross-functional teams, and design system-wide solutions—across manufacturing, services, supply chain, healthcare, IT, and more.

Whether you’re solving a product failure, a service breakdown, or a quality crisis—this course prepares you to lead when everything is on the line.

Der Kurs ist gut der Sprecher super, nur bei der Handy Ansicht sollten manche Sachen größer angezeigt werden. Für ein Tablett ist es aber denke ich in Ordnung.

By John Merritt on 4/19/2026

Rahul is consistently a master at high impact and practical teaching. the material is always real world relevant. I've taken over 30 classes and they make a difference.

By Jeremy Field on 4/15/2026

Course was extremely thorough and well presented. Lots of repetition (in a good way) to reinforce the key points. Presenter seems very knowledgeable and really good at what he does. This course was a good value for the money.

By James Cass on 2/17/2026

I love AIGPE courses, always so clear and concise, great visuals, totally informative, to the point and incredibly educational. By far the best provider on Udemy, no gimmicks or unnecessary content, just perfect.

By Alexis Leon on 11/18/2025

Course conclusion pdf document or master document has a collection of more than 30 nice slide with photos that didn't say nothing. We need to take notes of key messages. It will be nice to have the key points written there for later consultation.

By Andy Farquhar on 10/29/2025

Compared to prior in-person 8D training and Lean 6 Sigma certification this course layout was very unfocused and un-engaging. Able to pass every quiz and exam without watching the course, questions are too straight forward and only cover one aspect at a time rather than linking how 8D steps are used consecutively.

By Jerry Lowry on 10/16/2025

Good course, overall. Went into greater detail about the methodology than I had learned about up until this point. The AI images that are used throughout have several hilarious errors and hallucinations. Don't let that distract you. The part where the instructor walked us through how to use Excel and AI tools was awesome.

By Karma Rinzin on 8/25/2025

Yes, i as a teacher always have to work towards solving problems and help children learn problem solving skills. This course will really help me

By Martynas Greicius on 7/9/2025

Great Course... I admire the Knowledge and how in dept the course been. WOW!!! I just passed six sigma green belt and comparing to it 8D looked way more agile due to AI visualizations. The time went way faster and it give the feeling that you actually in different environments solving the different problems as one of the team member. Unfortunately there were so many visualizations and they changed it so fast that distracted me time and time again from the actually absorption of information so I needed review slides again and again... But in general I am impressed, and thinking to do Black belt with you thanks

By Richard Lowin on 7/8/2025

Good and interesting course. The lessons on Excel and AI which were referred to in the course weren't available but that didn't make much of a difference.
