Successful Sigma Skills Bootcamps come to Aycliffe

Optimum Skills are opening their doors to businesses across Aycliffe Business Park and beyond to provide cost-effective training solutions through Skills Bootcamps.

Their Skills Bootcamps in Six Sigma Principles have proven to be one of the most popular with companies across various sectors, with manufacturing and production businesses taking full advantage of the course.

In the words of Optimum Skills, Six Sigma is a set of tools and techniques used by organisations to ‘minimise their input and maximise their output’.

The course is delivered at a yellow belt and green belt level, the starting point of businesses which have not previously utilised Six Sigma.

For businesses with no prior knowledge of Six Sigma, Optimum Skills’ team of business development managers have themselves taken part in a short version of the course, with one of the course tutors, Lynda.

The team say that having this knowledge means they are in a better position to provide businesses with the right information and can assess what their business might need from the course.

Some of the elements of the course include identifying and fixing areas of waste, streamlining business operations and fully utilising resources and processes for maximum effectiveness.

The Six Sigma programme incorporates ‘Lean Thinking,’ ensuring a thorough understanding of a company’s training requirements and processes, thereby facilitating the seamless integration of Six Sigma tools and techniques.

The training curriculum emphasises essential philosophies and methodologies such as Kaizen, DMAIC, Heijunka, 5S, and more.

Participants develop and execute a project in their workplace, bridging classroom theory as well as implementing this into the business, to see the return of investment straight away.

The course is presently underway at the Optimum Skills Middlesbrough Hub, with a new cohort set to commence in Aycliffe this spring.

However, Optimum Skills understands business needs and are equipped to deliver these workshops at a business’s premises, tailoring them to their specific business needs.

“Our business development team are eager to discuss how they can enhance the local community and cater to your business requirements,” said senior business development manager Darcy Marisha.

“Feel free to reach out to us; we’re a friendly bunch and would be delighted to engage with you.”

Some of the current participants of the Skills Bootcamp in Six Sigma Principles have shared their experiences.

Kieran Evans said: “The course has been so helpful in the development of my problem-solving skills, and I have met some great people too.”

Elizabath Pass said: “The course is fed at an ideal pace, very informative and supportive. I have thoroughly enjoyed learning new areas that will support me in the workplace.”

Lana Betts insisted: “Really informative course. Each week I have taken lots of ideas away to implement into the workplace.”

Frank Donaghy said: “I am looking to take all parts of the Six Sigma back to engage with all my team, to improve our production process and improve people’s outlook on processes.”

And Mark Thompson added: “The Lean Six Sigma course has helped me understand parts of my working role to a better degree. It has been very informative.”

Skills Bootcamps are accessible for anyone aged 19+ and not in any other Government Funded Training.

Those interested can contact Darcy for more information on 01325 311832 or at [email protected]
