Meet the course creator
Hi, I’m Jason Baird, creator of the Standard Continuous Improvement Certification. I’ve spent my career helping organizations improve how work gets done through process improvement, operational excellence, and better ways of working. Along the way, I’ve seen how much time, effort, and potential can be lost to waste, inconsistent processes, and recurring problems. I created this course to give you practical, easy-to-use tools to eliminate waste, improve quality, solve workplace challenges, and build better processes—regardless of your role or industry.
Course Ratings & Reviews
“I liked the way the learning material was formatted. I had some understanding from previous courses but it wasn’t so basic that I didn’t learn from it and it was easy to understand and follow if you had no previous knowledge. I also appreciated that the submission projects were not too rigid in requirements. This allows for translation into many roles, industries, and projects.”
– Giselle, Senior Supply Chain Manager
“Love it! I have a leader taking on a new role within the company that will be very involved in our processes, training, and efficiencies and the CIU program is a great way to kick off this new role.”
– Melissa, CEO
“I earned my Lean Six Sigma Black Belt earlier this year and I felt that this CI training program allowed me to apply my skills to projects in a meaningful way. The learning modules were wonderful refreshers and Jason was extremely encouraging with my progress on my projects”
– Marissa, Referral Specialist
“The program was straightforward and easy to follow. It helped me frame up improvements that were already in process and helped me focus and define the process to make it better.”
– Regina, Supply Chain Manager
“The learning dashboard was incredibly user friendly, and made the course easy to navigate. What really stood out to me is how universal the material is. Even though my projects focused on healthcare and supply chain, the continuous improvement modules easily translate to any industry. This course is a great fit for someone unfamiliar with the concepts, or if you’re already experienced and need a refresher to help focus on executing real world projects. The principles of eliminating waste and organizing processes are just as useful in my personal life as they are professionally. Great course!“
