The full pure-Lean pathway in one bundle: Lean Associate, Lean Practitioner and Advanced Lean Practitioner. From spotting waste on day one to leading enterprise Lean transformations — at a 46% discount versus buying separately.
Lean Suite
The Lean Suite is for anyone who wants the complete Lean journey in one purchase. Take Associate first to build the vocabulary and tools. Move to Practitioner once you're ready to lead kaizen events and value-stream maps. Finish with Advanced Practitioner to plan and deliver enterprise-scale Lean transformations.
Total study time is around 14-20 weeks at 3-5 hours per week, fully self-paced — work through all three at your own speed, with module quizzes and final knowledge tests at every level. You receive three separate, personalised certificates as you progress.
The Suite is a 46% saving versus buying Associate (£95), Practitioner (£165) and Advanced Practitioner (£265) individually — and the easiest way to commit to a full Lean career path with no future surprises.
4 modules · 12 lessons · 2-3 weeks. Master the 8 wastes (DOWNTIME), 5S, basic kaizen and value-stream thinking. The shared vocabulary every improvement team needs.
See Lean Associate →
5 modules · 18 lessons · 4-6 weeks. Lead kaizen events end-to-end, build current and future-state value-stream maps, design pull systems and run a guided practice project.
See Lean Practitioner →
5 modules · 20 lessons · 8-12 weeks. Plan multi-site Lean transformations, develop Hoshin policy, coach Lean leaders, and deliver an applied transformation case study.
See Advanced Practitioner →We recommend it — Associate → Practitioner → Advanced is how the content was designed and how we sequence the projects. But the Suite gives you instant access to all three, so if you already have Lean experience you can jump straight to Practitioner or Advanced.
14-20 weeks if you work through all three back-to-back at 3-5 hours per week. Fully self-paced — there is no time limit and lifetime access is included.
Three. You earn a separate, personalised certificate for Associate, Practitioner and Advanced Practitioner as you complete each level — plus three matching LinkedIn badges.
The Lean Suite is pure Lean — flow, waste, 5S, kaizen, VSM, Hoshin, transformation leadership. The Lean Six Sigma Suite (£315) covers Yellow / Green / Black Belt — Lean plus the statistical Six Sigma DMAIC toolkit. Many learners take both pathways.
You can buy them individually — Associate £95, Practitioner £165 or Advanced £265. Buying any two costs more than the Suite, so most learners pick one course or the full Suite.
Yes. Aligned with industry standards and mapped to the Lean Foundation / Practitioner / Leader bodies of knowledge. Issued by SimplicityHub Academy on completion of each level.
