“When I started the course I was a quality specialist; after it I was promoted to quality team leader. Six Sigma changed a lot for me. Very comprehensive – I'd suggest it 100%.”
“The course teaches you to take hold of a problem logically and solve it scientifically. The explanation was simple, and this way of thinking matters for life as a whole.”
“What I gained most: I never imagined how much money projects can lose. We ran a small cost project on our site and found mistakes we can now avoid.”
