Lean Certification: Certified Lean Practitioner

The program is self-paced and up to 1 year is allotted to complete it. Upon completion of the program (including a final test and successful completion of an approved project), students will receive a lean manufacturing certification (Certified Lean Practitioner) and 6 CEU's (Continuing Education Units).  For a group quote or for customization, contact us.

Timing: This program is the equivalent of a 6-day in-person class; however, the time to complete this as a self-paced program averages approximately 12-16 hours plus project time.
