Very good. Learned to skip some of the filler to make it go faster. The introduction and recaps are a bit much. But very good content and presented well.
By Angela Kyle Sero on 5/21/2026
It's good, although I would love to have more real-life examples on how these Lean methodologies apply to a modern workplace or business.
By Aixa Rivera on 4/30/2026
Well organized, broken in small portions which make it easier to separate the time for the lectures. It is clear and easy to follow. I appreciate the attached resources.

The Certified Lean Specialist / Lean Management (Accredited) course provides a clear, well‑structured introduction to Lean principles and practices. The content is practical, easy to follow, and aligns well with real‑world process improvement scenarios. Concepts such as waste reduction, continuous improvement, and value delivery are explained clearly and reinforced with relevant examples. Overall, it is a high‑quality course that is well suited for professionals seeking a solid foundation or formal recognition in Lean management.
By Tariq Fitria Aziz on 4/4/2026
It was good; the instructor gave a real-life example and scenario for implementing each tool/concept. But, I believe some explanations are kinda repetitive in some sections and could be made simpler (or "Leaner"). For example, the story of Lean pioneers was repeated in sections about specific lean tools.
By Danielle McCorkle on 3/20/2026
Outstanding course! Well organized material, informative slides, transcript if you need it, many real work place examples and how Lean was used in the service and manufacturing industries etc. In addition, you are able to earn a certification by taking this course.
By Carson Gloede on 2/26/2026
Good intro course, first few sections were really good. I feel like a lot of the slides were at a middle school level and could have gone more in depth on everything. There was a lot of repetition and if you were paying attention you should have no problem passing the exam. I wish there was more challenging parts.
By Amanda Robinson on 2/17/2026
Really well structured course, comprehensive and well paced. Really enjoyed it and passed the associated exam first time as a result.
