The final report of project shall be in Word format converted to a .pdf format; and a Powerpoint format converted to a .pdf format and reviewed by BSI’s panel of assessors.

This condenses and visually communicates to his/her project proponents using graphs, charts, and succinct bullet points. Both reports converted in .pdf format shall be submitted to BSI for review and approval.
A Candidate is disqualified to be certified if the project is submitted beyond the due date. However, an overdue project is subject for justification and BSI approval. Once approved, Candidates shall sit in and pay the corresponding fee of a BSI Lean Practitioner Public Training class they need a review on (a minimum of one day) or a project review fee of Php 5,000 shall be required from the Candidates.
