Instructors

We work with a great group of ten talented professionals who are skilled at teaching portions of our subjects.  Some are consultants, others are professional trainers, still others are retired from this business and like to keep their minds active by passing on what they know and have done.  Our Six Sigma instructors are all at least Black Belts or professional statisticians or PMPs.  Only instructors who maintain high quality feedback scores from our customer surveys get to return.  Just because someone is a great practitioner doesn't mean they are also good at teaching.  Our great instructors are one of the important factors in what makes Value-Train so good.  Our three-day classes are usually taught by one instructor.  Our Black Belt and PMP courses usually use multiple instructors.

Marketing

The way we price our classes, we can't afford it.  Instead we rely on volunteers who have heard about us, think this is needed, and that it's a good idea.  We do our classes in cities where someone takes the initiative to do that with us.  Most often it's a professional in-transition who wants one of these courses for themselves and belongs to a few local networking groups.  If this sounds like you and you would like to see a Value-Train class in your area, please contact us.
