We understand that many potential delegates don’t know which course to choose. Let us just tell you that most companies will now train their staff in Lean Six Sigma rather than just Six Sigma. It makes common sense to learn both techniques at the same time they are so interchangeable anyway. The link below shows an article explaining it in depth, however even if you sign up for a Six Sigma training course you will be taught Lean Six Sigma any way so please don’t let companies confuse you.
