see what our graduates have to say:
The instructor was able to provide feedback/applications for ‘real world’ examples of the subject matter to our processes.
This is a great introduction to Design of Experiments and the statistics involved therein. Don’t feel like you will get lost, the course is done in a very tactful manner that teaches as you go.
Where I benefited the most from this course was working through the many examples that were provided during the course. The content was very well explained which made working through the examples, while the instructor presented them, easy to follow and very helpful.
The course it is well presented and detailed and well worth it to establish a base understand of the DoE principles and applicable to just about any project that requires optimization.
The course is well thought out and organized. It provides a systematic approach to test prep, test design, and results analysis of both means and variation.
Don’t waste your time shopping around, partner with Air Academy. We wasted three months vetting other companies.
Highly recommended! The content was explained in an easy-to-understand way, and was practically applied so that you could see it in action.
I would highly recommend this Greenbelt training. The course and tools are designed to bring success to the students & businesses. The skills learned will bring value throughout your career.
Highly recommend especially if your work is directly related to designing experiments with longer run times. This course will assist in pointing out the important factors and how to go on about being most efficient while maintaining a high confidence level.
The DOE Pro and SPC XL software is amazing! Used Minitab and JMP previously, and the user interface for this new software makes it far easier to use.
Instructor explained the fundamentals as well as the application of DOE very well. He also helped the students understand how to apply DOE or MSA to their own systems.
Instructor clearly has a wealth of knowledge and experience and he was able to convey to us some very complicated ideas and concepts through these examples, as well as his excellent presentation skills.
Unlock the Full Potential of Your Processes with DFSS Certification
Transform Your Business with the Proven Methodology of DFSS
DFSS certification, or Design for Six Sigma certification, helps professionals learn how to design better products, services, and processes from the beginning rather than correcting defects after problems occur. Unlike traditional process improvement methods that focus on fixing existing issues, DFSS is used during the design stage to reduce risk, improve quality, and create solutions that meet customer and business requirements.
Air Academy Associates offers DFSS training for engineers, product development teams, quality professionals, process improvement leaders, project managers, and organizations that want a structured approach to innovation and operational excellence. Through Design for Six Sigma methods such as IDOV, participants learn how to identify customer needs, design effective solutions, optimize performance, and validate results before full implementation.
This certification pathway is ideal for professionals who want to strengthen their design, quality, and problem-solving skills while applying Six Sigma principles to new or improved processes.
Choose Your DFSS Certification Level
The Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) framework is a systematic approach for creating new and improving business processes to achieve operational excellence. You can expect the following courses in our academy:
Design For Six Sigma Champion
This course is designed for leaders, managers, and sponsors who need to understand how DFSS supports business strategy, project selection, and team alignment.

Highest Certification in the World | Design for Six Sigma
Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) is a highly effective methodology for improving business processes. It is considered the highest certification in the world for business processes because it has consistently delivered superior results. DFSS is based on a rigorous and systematic approach that identifies and addresses the root causes of process problems and then uses data and statistical analysis to design and optimize processes for maximum efficiency and effectiveness. This approach has been shown to improve key performance metrics such as quality, cost significantly, and speed, making DFSS certification highly sought after by the manufacturing industry and other business organizations around the world.
The Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) methodology is based on the proven principles of Six Sigma and uses a similar process to the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) approach. Air Academy Associates DFSS process is based on IDOV, which stands for Identify, Design, Optimize and Validate. This process helps organizations design new processes optimized for efficiency and effectiveness, using Six Sigma principles to minimize redesign and waste and improve performance. With a Design for Six Sigma Certification, you can demonstrate a thorough understanding of the DFSS methodology, its implementation options, and how they can be applied to improve business processes.
Who Should Get Certified
The DFSS Black Belt Certification training will benefit engineers, designers, interested managers, and technicians who would lead or be a part of a DFSS Black Belt project team at their company.
