What Lean Six Sigma Training does

Lean Six Sigma Training Ltd is a UK-based private training company, headquartered in Manchester with a secondary office in Boldon, that delivers Lean Six Sigma certification programs at Yellow Belt, Green Belt, and Black Belt levels alongside supplementary offerings in Scrum, PMP, and DFSS. Its core technology stack consists of self-paced e-learning courses (42-module Green Belt and 60-module Black Belt tracks with over 8 hours of video), SigmaXL statistical analysis software bundled free with Green/Black Belt enrollments, VFlow efficiency measurement integration, and Lean Production Games for gamified experiential learning. The company operates an omnichannel delivery model: in-person classroom training across five UK cities (Manchester, Newcastle, Leeds, Liverpool, Edinburgh), live instructor-led Zoom sessions globally, and self-serve e-learning with iOS/Android apps and 180-day access, supported by onsite coaching and DMAIC project review services for enterprise clients.

The business generates revenue through three streams: one-time training course fees (priced per participant, ranging from £195 for online Yellow Belt to £2,295 for 8-Day Black Belt classroom), recurring e-learning subscription access periods (with paid extensions), and professional services for onsite coaching and consulting. Customers include individual professionals seeking certification, manufacturing and process improvement teams, and enterprise clients spanning pharmaceuticals, banking, government, software, and consulting. Marketing leverages organic social (Facebook, Twitter), content/SEO via the company blog, and Trustpilot reviews (9.6/10 rating), while go-to-market combines self-serve e-commerce for individuals with direct sales for enterprise group bookings and onsite engagements. The company holds accreditation from ILSSI, CSSC, and IASSC, operates with 1–10 employees, and has been incorporated since 2014 (UK Companies House registration 09261059).
