Supervisor from SC

This course is very incredible and it goes much more into detail on how things work in the production world and to become the best of the best. These types of courses open your eyes to a lot of things. Always learning - 4 1/2 years into this and I'm still learning and growing. Thank You!

C.B.

Supervisor from IL

I learned that I needed more training for leadership skills and this course really helped me! I would recommend this training to others in a leadership role.

J.T.

Supervisor from IL

Very good intro level of courses. As a new lead in a smaller manufacturing facility it was very useful information. I have been out of leadership roles for around 5 years and these got me back into the mindset of a supervisor.

J.R.

Supervisor from CA

CML 100 helped me in many ways to improve who I am as a person and as a leader. CML 100 contains a lot of beneficial information that allows one to grow in the professional field.

“The reason I chose this course for my supervisors was that it directly related to manufacturing. I have spent over 20 years in manufacturing starting in purchasing then transitioning to materials management & supply chain and over 10 years in operations management. I am very happy that I chose this course because you delivered on so many topics. I’ve related a lot of my experiences to yours (T4T) and learned a lot as well. I am using this as a starting point to develop goals for my supervisors moving forward in the new year. Great job!”

"We are so pleased with the course you structured for our frontline supervisors on the plant floor. It was catered to specific areas we were interested in learning more about rather than having backfill that would not have inspired our employees. The videos were engaging and entertaining. Our people thought they really benefitted from participating in the program. We wrapped your program within our supervisor meeting structure, which allowed them to become a team, rather than siloed leaders. We would strongly recommend this program to others. You make it unique."
