  • Format: Instructor-led
  • Level: Intermediate
  • Location: On-site or Online
  • Duration: 24 Hours

Pre-requisites

The course can be taught with JMP®, SigmaXL® or Minitab®, statistical software. In either case, attendees should have a good understanding of software fundamentals including navigation, menu structure, data integrity, annotations, and graphing. The course includes a 2-hour online session for those without statistical software experience.

To get the most out of the course, attendees should have their own PC, a recent version of the statistical software, a 2-way headset and a webcam. Two monitors are highly recommended.
