TWI Institute Certified Trainers

Trainer Certification (“40-Hour Train-the-Trainer Programs”)“The One Best Way” - One of the key tenets of Lean is building standard work. The Institute applies this in

all we do including the trainer certification process. All trainers certified through the Institute use the successful

Training Within Industry delivery methods developed during WWII and repeatedly proven throughout the years.

The TWI Institute Certified Trainer Program consists of separate 40-hour Train-the-Trainer (TtT) programs, one

for each TWI program of Job Relations (JR), Job Instruction (JI), Job Methods (JM), Job Safety (JS), and Problem

Solving (PS) and one for each Toyota Kata program. You can become a Certified Trainer for any or all of the

programs. The TWI Institute format is a “learn-by-doing” and coaching experience. Upon completion, you will

be able to confidently and skillfully deliver the 10-hour program.

Facilitated by a Certified Master Trainer, the 40-hour programs are standardized to ensure consistency of

content, but flexible enough to foster a positive and supportive learning environment for each student. Class

sizes are kept small (4-6) to allow substantial one-on-one interaction with the Master Trainer.

Training can be conducted at your facility or in TWI Institute open enrollment programs in San Diego, CA,

Liverpool, NY and host companies located around the world.

Benefits of Becoming a TWI Institute Certified TrainerYou will be trained by experienced, engaging, and committed master trainers using a consistent method

proven by the documented successes of our trainers around the globe. All TWI Institute Certified Trainers

Prerequisites for Becoming a Certified Trainer?All 40-hour Train-the-Trainer programs require successfully completing the 10-hour “J” course of the

respective Certified Trainer program. Individuals with experience leading others and implementing continuous

improvement tools are well-suited for TWI Institute trainer certification.
