(IIE: Norcross, GA) -- Larry Aft, director of continuing education and program development for the Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE), announces limited time discounts of up to 40 percent on some of the most popular lean and Six Sigma training courses.

Until April 30, IIE members and nonmembers can save significantly on the cost of a variety of Six Sigma courses including Six Sigma Green Belt, Six Sigma Black Belt, Six Sigma Green Belt for health care, lean Six Sigma Green Belt, and lean Six Sigma Green Belt for health care. The savings, up to 40 percent, are significant, making IIE one of the lowest-cost providers of quality, efficiency, and productivity training.

Aft explains that the discounts are for a very limited time and are designed to help professionals who may be putting off their certificate training due to the economy.

“The courses have been discounted but not the quality. IIE provides some of the highest quality Six Sigma and lean training offered by any organization in the world. But IIE is a nonprofit organization serving the quality, efficiency, and productivity professions; so it is important that we offer these professionals quality training at a value price during this time when everyone is watching their budgets,” Aft says.

A number of organizations are concerned about travel costs, so IIE offers on-site corporate training for corporations that want to train larger groups of their associates at specially discounted group rates.
