The Introduction to Last Planner® System e-Learning course will issue a badge participants can add to email signatures and a certificate of completion to those who pass each knowledge check and the final assessment with a score of 80 percent or higher. The LCI Immersive Education Program will include more e-Learning courses in the future such as Introduction to Lean Project Delivery and Introduction to Lean in Design. 

“It is extremely exciting to be supporting the LCI vision to transform capital project delivery by providing much-needed learning opportunities in the hands of anyone who wants to learn,” Kristin Hill, director, education programs with LCI, says. “These e-Learning courses are significant in setting standards for badging that is backed by verifiable information and criteria about the skills and achievement of the holder.” 

LCI corporate members will receive the opportunity to train entire project teams by purchasing the e-Learning course in bulk for a volume discount of up to 65 percent off the exclusive member pricing. Lean design and construction practitioners can access the e-Learning course on the LCI website.
