Toyota Experience Matters!

Enhance your degree, credentials and resume through our academic offerings. Employers place a high premium on leaders at all levels who understand the true essence of the Toyota Production System (TPS).

You can benefit from our unique Toyota/UK partnership as you gain TPS skills and knowledge through one of our two offerings:

  1. Graduate Certificate in True Lean/Lean Systems
  2. Student True Lean Certification Course

Both of our offerings are based upon TPS, and our partnership with Toyota ensures our content remains up-to-date and in line with Toyota thinking.

Upon course completion, students will be added to our listserv — a True Lean community / network — for access to continuous support from our team.
