    Do I need to buy Minitab software separately?

    You should have Minitab statistical software installed on your device for the hands-on exercises, as it is a separate commercial product from Minitab LLC. Please confirm with our team whether a trial licence is available or whether you should arrange your own access before the session.

    Do you offer group or corporate pricing?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with pricing tailored to team size and multi-site rollouts, and the exercises can use your own data. Contact us for a group quote.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major cards and bank transfer, and can discuss instalment options for corporate bookings. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you.

    Assessment

    Is there an exam or assessment for this course?

    No. This is a non-certification skills course with no examination. Your learning is reinforced through live, hands-on Minitab exercises throughout the day rather than a formal test, so you practise every technique as you go.

    Do I receive anything on completing the training?

    Yes. On finishing the one-day programme you receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning. This training builds practical Minitab skills; it is not a certification, and there is nothing to renew.

    How will I know I can use Minitab on my own?

    Because the course is exercise-led, you perform each analysis yourself during the session, from SPC charts to capability studies and Gauge R&R. By the end you will have worked through every core technique hands-on and can repeat them on your own data.

    Does this course lead to a Six Sigma qualification?

    This is a software skills course, not a Six Sigma programme, so it does not award a Six Sigma qualification. It does build the Minitab proficiency that Lean Six Sigma Green Belt and Black Belt training expects, making it an excellent companion or preparation.

    Can beginners keep up with the hands-on exercises?

    Yes. The exercises are structured so you follow the trainer step by step in Minitab, with statistics explained as they arise. Beginners and those with limited Minitab experience can complete every activity comfortably.

    Course Content

    What topics does the Minitab training cover?

    The course spans six modules: interface and data management, descriptive statistics and graphs, hypothesis testing, statistical process control, process capability analysis, and regression with Gauge R&R measurement system analysis, all delivered with live software exercises.

    How long is the training and what is the format?

    It runs as a full one-day, eight-hour instructor-led programme. It can be delivered as live virtual, in a classroom, or onsite for corporate teams, with every module taught hands-on in Minitab.

    Do we work on real datasets during the course?

    Yes. Every module uses realistic quality and process-improvement datasets, so you practise each technique on data that reflects genuine workplace problems. Corporate sessions can use your organisation's own data.

    Which Minitab tools will I learn to use?

    You will learn descriptive statistics, histograms, boxplots, Pareto and time series plots, t-tests, ANOVA and chi-square, I-MR, Xbar-R, P and C control charts, Cp, Cpk, Pp and Ppk capability analysis, regression, and Gauge R&R studies.

    Is the content suitable for someone new to statistics?

    Yes. The course introduces statistical concepts in plain terms as part of learning the software, so you do not need a statistics background. It focuses on how to run and interpret each analysis correctly in Minitab.
