Lean Instructor Training

Lean Instructor Training Fact Sheet
As of June 28, 2008
Compiled by Maryanne Ross

Our training sessions has now been officially announced by HQ for June 28 & 29 at the Hilton Philadelphia Airport.  Bill Kerber, one of the course authors, will be conducting the training  I'm hoping to get at least 20 instructors so we can split the costs and hold the tab down.  Bill Selepes is asking the hotel to include lunch and breaks each day, we'll be on our own for breakfast and dinner. 

I'm asking HQ to give me the costs for the instructor.  He lives in NJ, so we'll have his instructor fee of $900 per day, plus modest travel expenses.  All the materials will be provided by HQ, as draft materials, free of charge. Hotel rooms will run around $110/night. There is a free shuttle from the airport to the Hilton. Some of us will have our cars, so we can car pool out to dinner. The DC Metro chapter is looking into setting up their website so that instructors can register and pay by credit card, if they so desire. I’ll be happy to add your name to our growing list, and hold a seat, on your verbal commitment. The website will be operational by the end of this week.

I’m anticipating at this point, that your costs for the training will be around $220 per instructor. Airfare (if necessary), hotel, breakfast and dinner are on your own.

We're planning for two full days, 8am until 5PM.  It's a lot of material, and we're asking Bill Kerber to concentrate on the case study and activities, we can all read the theory on our own.  I've seen two of the workbooks, and I've talked with other instructors who reviewed it, it looks real good.

The Hilton Philadelphia Airport is located at: 4509 Island Ave, Phil, PA, 19153. Phone: 215- 365-4150. You can begin making room reservations, use APICS Blue Ridge as your code, we have 20 rooms in our block, guaranteed for $109 per night. This rate extends until June 4th.
