Participants Value Minitab Training
What do participants say about our training programs?
"I had already begun using Minitab software in my Six Sigma projects prior to the training. At that point, I was seeking more in-depth knowledge of the program plus a review of what I had already learned. What I received was more. The instructor was not 'just a software instructor', but a very knowledgeable and experienced project manager and statistician. Her ability to 'bring the lessons home' using real world examples and applying the tools to the different projects that each classmate was facing was extremely valuable. The software itself is a very useful and versatile tool, and as in every case the person representing the product can make or break the consumer's willingness to purchase the product. Our instructor went far beyond what was needed to add value to the product by one-on-one coaching, explaining techniques that all could grasp, taking the time to address questions fully, maintaining a very comfortable pace during class, and by using excellent facilitation and instruction skills."

"I can state, categorically, that it was the single most beneficial class I have taken in connection with Six Sigma. The Minitab instructor, Keith Bower, was superb. He is an extremely knowledgeable statistician and does a brilliant job of imparting knowledge in a way that maximizes retention. The Minitab class made it all make sense."
Terry Smith*, Six Sigma Black Belt, Ford/Easycare
"Although my main goal with the training was to develop and utilize SPC, I was extremely impressed with the other useful tools in working with process data; everything from run plots to linear regression models. I am confident that all these tools will help me to make my data work for me to improve process quality. Also, I have to say that our instructor was not only very knowledgeable in statistics but also had very strong teaching skills. Overall, the class was a huge success."
Steve Markey*, Process Control Engineer, Saint-Gobain Crystals & Detectors
"I recently took six days of extensive Minitab training. The training facilities were superb, course coordination was top notch, and even the catered lunches were excellent. The most important aspect of your training was the trainer. He is one of the best trainers I have encountered in my 30 years of experience in applied statistics, which includes quality assurance, reliability, and internal auditing. He was able to concisely and clearly address questions on basic statistics as well as complex issues in quality assurance, DOE, and reliability. His knowledge in a broad range of applied areas is superior. I believe it is important to introduce the problem correctly, set the stage, determine the assumptions, and solve the right problem. He has demonstrated that he is a master at solving the right problem. Minitab is certainly fortunate to have trainers like him."
Thomas J. Vaden, Statistical Consultant, Air Force Audit Agency
"I took one week of Minitab training with Keith Bower (fantastic instructor) and came back to my plant a changed man. I started doing DOEs and ANOVA studies for my managers and quickly gained a reputation for statistical analysis across our Division (I had managers from other plants calling me for help)! They all think I'm some kind of statistics whiz, but it's really Minitab's power that they are seeing. The manuals and data disks are life savers, as I can practice doing analyses before I go out and do the real thing. The tech support line is awesome too. Thank you, Minitab!"
