Train with Intention

Become a problem Solving Master

Mastering problem solving requires practice and dedication. Our training courses are strategically crafted to help your team and organization become masters at solving problems. 

Train - Do - Certify

The Training Path

Following a Train-Do-Certify structure, our primary courses require all three pieces to be completed. To get the most out of attending class, we assist customers in selecting appropriate projects to assign to their teams. Once the team has attended class, each team or individual is paired with a Shainin coach to aid them in completing their assigned project. After project completion of the training class and the project, each team member has the opportunity to become certified. This structure allows your team to learn the method, practice it in a real-life, guided way, and verifies they learned what they should have to be able to continue to produce similar results for your organization.

Master

Becoming a master takes practice, and a good bit of it. But when it comes to becoming a Shainin Master, we are creating not just problem solvers but also problem solving coaches. Individuals who can assist others in completing projects effectively and efficiently. To become a Master, an individual must complete all three levels of certification: Apprentice, Journeyman, and Master. Each level requires at least one class attended, a minimum of one project completed, and passing a certification verification with a Shainin Coach. Having a Master in your organization enables your team to not only solve complex problems fast but also multiply the effects of your problem solving efforts.
