Change is the end result of all true learning.Leo Buscaglia

Change requires the strength to unlearn old habits, understanding to see what must be different, and discipline to adopt the changed behaviour until it is seen as the natural way to do things.​​

Helping people change requires the educator to understand how the student learns and adapt their teaching style accordingly.

I believe that the teachers you remember, the ones who change your life, show one more quality – PASSION. As a student, you learn not only the technical aspects of your subject, you also learn the attitude required. If your teacher is passionate about their subject and interested in the content that is how you will perceive it.

I am passionate about process improvement, quality and print. This is allied to a keen interest in the technical aspects of the subjects, and a love of helping you to learn the skills you need to change your business.

In addition to technical qualifications in the areas on which I provide training, I am a certified tutor. I hold a level 3 award in Education and Training from Pearson Edexel.

I am also a qualified NVQ assessor, holding a level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement (CAVA) I have also had further training as an End Point Assessor.

Quality Systems Training

ISO9001 is an international standard for quality management systems. Following the update of ISO9001 in 2015 the standard became closely aligned with process improvement methodology. As a lean six sigma master black belt and ISO9001:2015 lead auditor I am perfectly placed to help you understand the standard and develop the systems to drive your systematic business improvement.

Lean Six Sigma

Lean six sigma is a combination of two powerful methodologies.

Lean has become associated with improvement through minimised stock, single item process flow and reduction of waste, part of which is a focus on customer quality.

Six sigma is a statistically focused technique that is associated with reduction in variation and improved quality through consistency.

Both methodologies come together through the scientific method, expressed either as the PDSA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle, also known as the Deming cycle, or the DMAIC (Define-Measure-Analyse-Improve-Control) cycle, also known as the six sigma cycle.
