Lean Six Sigma

Today’s workplace is becoming more and more collaborative—and in return, businesses are looking for individuals who can manage complex projects that involve multiple teams. By learning Lean and Six Sigma methodologies, you can pinpoint areas of waste or redundancy across units, improve your team’s efficiency and step up as a leader in your career.

Technical Skills courses are offered in-person, or in some cases, a hybrid of in-person and online. Essential Skills courses are self-paced and offered entirely online. The Continuing Professional Education team is available to help you select the courses and tracks that best fit your professional development goals.

In response to COVID-19, all Continuing Professional Education face-to-face courses and certifications will be offered online via live remote delivery for the fall term (September - December). Winter course delivery will be determined on the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Pennsylvania Department of Health and Philadelphia Department of Public Health. If you have any questions or concerns about your course enrollment, please e-mail goodwin.ce@drexel.edu.
