What Our Learners Say About Us
"As an Operations Analyst, I recently completed the Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Certification with Invensis Learning, and I couldn't be more impressed. The comprehensive curriculum and expert trainers provided me with invaluable insights and practical skills to improve processes in my organization. The interactive sessions and real-world examples made learning engaging and applicable. I highly recommend Invensis Learning for anyone seeking professional development. - William Moore"
William Moore
(4.0/5)
"The pace and learnings from the course were good, liked how the trainer went through everything and always checked if there were questions and when there were he gave thorough answers."
"Alex Rajan's expertise, engaging teaching style, and the depth of knowledge he imparted made the training sessions not only informative but truly enjoyable. His skill in breaking down complex concepts into understandable components demonstrated mastery of the subject matter and a sincere commitment to enhancing our learning experience."
"Respective communication, steady pace of the class, not too fast but as well not too slow. A lot of space for open discussions and questionings. its not 5/5 because I believe the sessions consist of too much information for such short time. It could be organized in 1 more day, with less information per day, to have a better understanding."
"I enjoyed the constant interaction and Knowledge Checks - it helped to retain a lot of the information. Sathish was great and always willing to explain any queries we had. Thanks Sathish!!"
"The overall quality of information was great "
"In terms of content, all good. But poor time management. Time expected for breaks was never compliant (ie. if teacher said he was taking 10 mins break, it ended up being 20. For 50 mins break, teacher was showing up AT least 10-15 mins late...) Also, during second day I asked one question about a test and teacher seem disappointed for me to ask and gave me a whole speech of me not retaining all information while reading (after hours of exhausted training) also letting me know people who does not focus tend to have Low IQ... Also, having to spend time just waiting for teacher to end notes that I guess it should have been ready already for the lesson (at least, if the teacher is expecting for the alum to memorize and know everything at once) "
"It was good."
