Online training now available

by · Published · Updated

UCD Agile are now offering Lean training online to expand our support while working at distance. 

Last week, we ran our very first online Yellow Belt training and participants were really pleased with the sessions. Below are some comments we received;

‘I loved the breakout sessions, and enjoyed being in the same groups each time. Even virtually, you could feel a bond with the others, and this was really nice. It was fantastic to hear about others’ projects.’ – Niamh Nestor (School of Veterinary Medicine)

‘I really liked the online sessions! It was easier for me to stay focused and interact with my group without any problems(…)’ – Linda Brzychcyk (School of Medicine)

Training is available to UCD colleagues in ‘a virtual classroom’ (VC) via Zoom application. 

There are a number of different levels of Lean training available so you can choose a level that suits your needs.

UCD staff can book a place on one of our upcoming remote training days through the booking centre in InfoHub.
