Testimonials
I found the (Lean Six Sigma Green Belt) course both challenging and rewarding, completing the practical assessment project was a great opportunity to put the tools learnt into real time practice with positive results for the company.
I had a great experience working with APMG on my LSS Black Belt. The process was efficient and any questions I had were answered quickly. I would absolutely recommend APMG and LSSA for certification.
