Training process

Training needs analysis

If you have specific requirements regarding the training programme, we will carry out a training needs analysis for you. This will guide us on which aspects of the programme should receive greater emphasis, so that the training programme meets your specific needs.

What will you gain?

icon

Confident use of Minitab - You will learn to navigate the Minitab interface with confidence, organize worksheets, use toolbars and user folders, and complete everyday analytical tasks more efficiently.

icon

Better data preparation - You will see how to identify data types, structure them correctly, and transfer them between sources so you can avoid mistakes before the analysis and reporting stage begins.

icon

Reliable statistical analysis - You will learn how to calculate and interpret measures of location, shape, and spread, detect outliers, and choose charts that present your data in a clear and useful way.

icon

Choosing the right distribution - You will understand the differences between normal, Poisson, and skewed distributions, helping you assess process data more accurately and select the right analysis path.

icon

Effective problem solving - You will use tools such as the cause-and-effect diagram, natural tolerance, and the Pareto-Lorenz chart to identify root causes faster and tackle quality-related issues more effectively.

icon

Process stability control - You will learn how to assess process capability and apply Shewhart control charts, so you can spot variation earlier, reduce risk, and improve day-to-day process oversight.

icon

Confident hypothesis testing - You will practice tests for a mean, comparison tests, and tests for a fraction, enabling you to make decisions based on evidence rather than intuition or incomplete observations.

icon

Finding relationships in data - You will learn how to apply ANOVA, regression, and correlation in practical situations and interpret confidence levels correctly to support sound analytical and business decisions.

10. Training summary

What are the prerequisites for participating in the training?

icon

Basic statistics - You should understand core statistical terms such as mean, median, deviation, and percentage so you can comfortably follow result interpretation throughout the training.

icon

Computer literacy - You should be comfortable using a computer, working in Windows, saving files, and navigating folders, because the course involves hands-on work with data and software settings.

icon

Working with tabular data - You should know how to read data in tables and understand rows and columns so you can work smoothly with worksheets and prepare datasets correctly for analysis tasks.

icon

Readiness to interpret results - You should be ready to analyze numbers, charts, and conclusions from calculations, because the course focuses not only on software use but also on correct result interpretation.
