Certification FAQ
What are the benefits of obtaining LMS certification?
- Assists learners in selecting a pathway to accomplish specific goals they have identified (solving daily problems, process problems, or system problems).
- Offers professional development compatible across industries.
- Promotes progressive development, learning, and Lean practice maturity.
What if I have attended past Denver Health Lean Academy classes?
You are eligible to pursue certification without re-taking classes. If you have previously attended classes that align with certification requirements, you may receive “credit” toward certification. Please contact the DHLA if you would like to pursue this option or have questions.
Why seek a Plus distinction for Bronze, Silver, or Gold?
The Plus distinction is right for you if you are interested in demonstrating application of Lean concepts outside of the classroom setting. Pursuing the Plus distinction includes coaching, insights, reflections, and opportunities for improvement and is a good way to have your Lean work vetted and validated by an expert member of the Lean community.
What if I do not want to get a certification?
All DHLA courses, including LMS Core or Deep Dive courses, can be taken as “Certificate of Completion Only” for attending the class (no exam or portfolio required).
