At Global Continuous Improvement (GCI), we don't just teach – we transform. In a world inundated with theoretical training, GCI has emerged as a beacon of hands-on, actionable education. Our journey began with a simple question: Can Lean Six Sigma training be more intuitive, practical, and immediately beneficial for both the individual and the organization? The answer was a resounding 'yes'.

Our philosophy is rooted in the belief that learning should not just be an academic exercise but a transformative experience that drives tangible change. This conviction has led us to redesign the traditional Lean Six Sigma certification framework.

Real-World Engagement: We’re not about classrooms; we're about contexts. Every training, even our foundational White Belt class, is built around a real-world project, giving our trainees an edge in practical application.

Mentorship at its Best: At GCI, mentorship isn't a side offering – it’s the very backbone of our certification journey. Our Master Black Belt mentors are stalwarts in the field, ensuring that knowledge translates into precision implementation.

Certification with a Purpose: Unlike conventional courses, every certification we offer mandates a project, emphasizing our unyielding commitment to real-world relevance.

Symbiotic Growth: As our trainees grow, businesses flourish. The integration of training with real projects ensures that organizations witness palpable enhancements.

For the Go-Getter: If you’re a professional with an insatiable thirst for growth, we equip you to lead transformative initiatives, boost operational efficacy, and become a linchpin in your organization.

For the Visionary Organization: Organizations that collaborate with us don't just train employees; they craft solution architects. The tangible project outcomes guarantee immediate ROI, fostering a pervasive culture of continuous enhancement.

We understand that learning is personal, which is why we've diversified our modes of training. Whether you’re a fan of the energy in face-to-face sessions or you cherish the flexibility of online classes, we’ve got you covered. Our in-person training, available in multiple states in partnership with Valenta, springs to life with groups of 15 or more zealous learners. For those who prefer a virtual setting, our live online sessions promise an equally enriching experience.

With a comprehensive suite of courses ranging from White Belt to Master Black Belt, GCI is constantly on the move. Thanks to our esteemed partnership with Valenta, we're thrilled to offer in-person courses in Arkansas, Wisconsin, South Carolina, and Florida. As the winds of change blow, we are ever-eager to expand both our offerings and our geographical footprint.
