Lean Accelerator

Everything you need to pass the exam is taught in the course. However, some people hate exams and I totally understand. Not to worry. If you fail the exam, you'll immediately receive an email with access to my calendar. I offer free personal coaching to get you through the exam. We focus on what you need to review and study. Ultimately it's up to you to schedule the coaching with me and to pass. However, I make every attempt to help. You have the option to decline and to simply have the exam reset. I only reset the exam once, so I'd love to help you get through it!

I am certified and qualified to teach the content as well as certify others.
