Business Improvement Discovery Event

Join us for our free discovery event exploring how improvement apprenticeships and focused Lean training can help people build practical improvement capability and apply it directly in the workplace.

This session brings together our Business Improvement Apprenticeships and wider Lean and Continuous Improvement training programmes, giving you a clear view of the different routes available and how they can support real performance improvement.

For organisations, it is an opportunity to understand how funded apprenticeships and targeted training can help develop problem-solving capability, strengthen continuous improvement activity and support measurable operational impact.

For individuals, it is a chance to explore what these programmes involve, the skills they help develop and how they can support confidence, progression and contribution at work.

We’ll introduce our Improvement Technician Level 3 and Improvement Specialist Level 5 apprenticeships, alongside our broader Lean and CI training portfolio, including Lean Awareness, RCA, 5S, Value Stream Mapping, Changeover Reduction, and Lean Six Sigma Yellow, Green and Black Belt training.

You’ll also gain insight into how our programmes are delivered, how learners are supported, and how improvement activity is linked to real workplace challenges realising significant cost savings and process efficiencies.

What You’ll Learn

You’ll come away with a clearer understanding of how:

  • Learners apply Lean and improvement tools to real workplace challenges
  • Improvement projects can deliver measurable return on investment
  • Organisations use these programmes to build continuous improvement capability
  • Apprenticeship funding works, including access to up to 100% funding where eligible
  • Our programmes are structured to support learning alongside day-to-day work
  • Support is provided to learners, line managers and employers throughout the programme
  • Improvement training can support both individual development and wider business goals

Why Attend?

This event will help you explore which route may be the right fit, whether you are looking to develop your own skills, support a team member, or build improvement capability across an organisation.

You’ll gain practical insight into programme structure, delivery, learner support and expected outcomes, with the opportunity to ask questions and discuss how the different options could apply in your context.

Who Should Attend?

This event is suitable for employers, managers, teams and individuals who want to understand more about improvement apprenticeships and Lean training.

It will be particularly relevant for:

  • Employers and decision-makers looking to improve performance and capability
  • Professionals working in Operations, Lean, Continuous Improvement, Quality, Engineering or Manufacturing
  • HR, L&D, Talent and Organisational Development leaders
  • Managers responsible for workforce development, efficiency, improvement or transformation activity
  • Line managers supporting current or potential learners
  • Individuals interested in developing practical improvement, Lean or problem-solving skills

Take the plunge! It doesn’t matter if you’ve been out of education for 1 year or 10 years. You can progress while learning on the job alongside your normal role. You will have the support and the opportunities to take full advantage of the course. It has only been a positive experience for me, I progressed and developed my skills so much in just a year and even got to interview for my desired progression role before I had even finished the course.
