"I am very pleased with the Interactive Lean Green Belt course at Advance School that has allowed me to learn Lean Best Practices, and to become internationally certified. Between the classroom sessions and the Interactive Learning format, I chose the latter for work reasons, and also because I already had experience in Lean: I found the course very well structured and up-to-date, and the instructors were extremely well prepared". Luca Borgatti, Plant Manager, Cargill Starch & Sweeteners, Italy.
