What Our Attendees Say

  • I want to begin by sharing that I'm currently at the entry level within my company, and in just three days of attending Supply Chain courses at Georgia Tech, l've learned an incredible amount. My instructor (Derek Browning) was absolutely phenomenal, and our tech assistant, Andy, went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Even when some of us lost power (Hurricane Helene) during the testing period and couldn't log in, Andy stayed in close communication with us via text, which was greatly appreciated. I'm so grateful for the knowledge and wisdom the team shared, and I would absolutely reach out to them for any future services. This experience left me feeling empowered and well-educated. It was truly an amazing experience!

  • I recently completed the Supply Chain Analytics Certificate module of  Machine Learning Applications for Supply Chain Planning at Georgia Tech, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. The course material was comprehensive, providing in-depth insights into the latest analytics techniques and their practical applications in the supply chain industry. The instructors were outstanding—each brought real-world experience to the classroom, which made the content even more impactful. One of the reasons I chose Georgia Tech for this certification was its strong reputation and the high regard it holds in the industry, and they truly delivered on that expectation. This program has certainly enhanced my analytical capabilities and provided valuable knowledge that I can apply to my work immediately.

  • Americold’s Supply Chain Engineering team has sourced professional education courses from Georgia Tech on multiple occasions, in pursuit of the Distribution Operations Analysis and Design certificate. Our team has gained valuable insights from the instructors and course material, including Warehouse Layout Design and Engineering the Warehouse.

    The Tech team provided a seamless experience, from location planning to content customization. Our engineers were excited to learn about facility layout, pick path optimization, and automation applications, with numerous industry examples of warehouse challenges and solutions. The courses are structured to foster individual learning, as well as team development through interactive exercises and collaborative discussion.

    I appreciate the educational opportunities we have been able to offer our engineering team through our partnership with Georgia Tech. Our engineers have already begun to apply these concepts to business analytics and customer solutions in our large temperature-controlled warehouse network.

  • I spent some time taking some courses offered at the Georgia Institute of Technology and I just received my certificate for Procurement and Supply Management Leadership. It was a really interesting experience leaning more about the procurement process, along with negotiating strategies and Lean Six Sigma. It was a really enjoyable and interesting learning experience.

  • Some of the best information I have received through instruction. Very impressed."

    "This course was very exciting and interesting. I learned a lot about the tips of a good negotiation."

    "Best, most impactful professional development course I have ever taken."

  • As far as having a military-centric background in logistics in the past 28 years, the Georgia Tech APICS Boot Camps were of great value in understanding the corporate standards, concepts, and common lingo shared among our professionals. Any course offering can be bland like many others, but what makes Georgia Tech unquestionably stand out is the staff and faculty that support the Boot Camps and the students who attend. The in-depth dialogue between faculty and other students from diverse logistical business backgrounds and positions make the APICS Boot Camps top-notch in value attained and received for everyone involved. I would strongly recommend these courses to anyone interested in attaining their test certification!

  • Being in this program has built my confidence up, actually. I’ve been doing these things, but in a different way. Now I know how to apply these skills to the civilian world. Having this additional certification in supply chain and logistics certainly adds to the marketability of my resume.

  • In one particular instance, our team identified an opportunity to improve the picking process. We had 35-40 pickers performing the same process in almost as many ways -- some ways effective and some not. We asked, "Why are we walking all over the warehousing picking every unit for one box, when we have a conveyor system that can bring the box to the pickers and eliminate the wasteful motion?" Through leader standard work, kaizen events, picking patterns, and other applications learned from SCL courses, our team was able to improve flat picking productivity from 50 units per hour to 130 per hour.

  • I actually attended this course at Georgia Tech and its the best informational course that I have attended in my whole career. This course with two others were so informative and we use them everyday in our 3PL warehousing and distribution practices. A++ in my book. Robert, Anna, and Brad were phenomenal teachers; they all really care about what they teach!

  • I am only halfway through the series and I am already able to apply the principles and tools I have learned back at my company. Amazing course, amazing instructors, amazing facility. Our entire executive team is going through the three course certificate program. I'm looking forward to finishing the program and being able to share my knowledge not only with those in my organization, but companies we service as well.

  • The Transportation & Distribution course in Savannah was a wonderful experience because the Savannah port tour brought the entire process to life. In the evenings sitting at the restaurant on River Street overlooking the river watching the large container ships heading out the sea was just amazing!

  • Thank you for everything, it was a great experience to personally know and learn from the best.
