Lean Construction standards

Created by the Industry, for the Industry

LCI-UK is the awarding body for a range of Lean Construction standards held with the CITB and developed in collaboration with leading organisations and Lean experts from across the industry. These standards can be delivered as short courses by approved training organisations (ATOs) with Lean Trainers approved by the Lean Construction Institute. All are eligible for CITB grant funding.

The following Standards have all been created specifically for the Construction Industry by a plethora of expert Lean practitioners from Client companies and Tier 1 contractors, bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience to standardise Lean training for the benefit of the industry.

These standards are the foundation of a good Lean practitioner, and combine classroom and practical learning. With the exception of Introduction to Lean, which is delivered in one part, once both parts are complete, tier 2 CITB grant funding can be claimed .
