Course Overview
This short course introduces the purpose, structure, and practical use of Failure Mode and Effect Analysis in quality and improvement work. It covers the what and why of FMEA, types of FMEAs, key components of an FMEA, Risk Priority Number analysis, and how to complete an FMEA using Quantum XL software.
Participants learn how FMEA helps teams identify possible failures before they create larger problems in a product, process, or service. The course is a strong fit for professionals looking for a failure mode and effect analysis FMEA short course online that connects risk analysis with real workplace use.
Because Air Academy Associates places this course within its intermediate short course catalog and broader Lean Six Sigma training environment, it works well for learners building practical quality and continuous improvement skills.

What Sets Us Apart
Practical FMEA Training With Clear Structure
Air Academy Associates offers an FMEA short course that presents risk analysis in a simple, organized, and usable format. The course is structured to help learners move from foundational concepts to practical completion of an FMEA with more confidence.
A Strong Focus on Prevention and Risk Awareness
This training helps learners understand why FMEA matters before defects, failures, or service breakdowns become more costly. That practical focus makes the course useful for teams that want to evaluate risk earlier and improve decision-making before problems spread.
Covers Approaches, Components, and RPN
Many learners know the term FMEA but are less clear on how to complete one correctly. This course goes further by covering types of FMEAs, KISS-FMEA and traditional FMEA approaches, major FMEA components, and risk analysis using the Risk Priority Number.
Built for Real Application in Quality and Operations
This course is not limited to definitions alone. It is designed to help participants apply FMEA thinking in manufacturing, operations, service improvement, and continuous improvement environments where risk reduction matters.
Includes Software-Relevant Learning Support
The page notes that the course references Quantum XL software, with the What’s Included section listing the Quantum XL demo and related features. That gives learners a more practical connection between FMEA instruction and software-supported analysis.
Backed by a Long-Standing Improvement Training Provider
Air Academy Associates describes itself as one of the earliest providers of Lean Six Sigma methodologies and highlights decades of experience in training and certification. That broader background adds credibility for learners who want practical FMEA training from an established organization.

What did you like most? “the coaching session and videos, the possibility to stop the video if something is not clear”
Lisa was really the best. Also, videos were really good – Thanks to Lisa and Mark! “
“The online courses can be taken within the time frame that suits for my daily work. Yet, there are scheduled virtual sessions setting the milestones.”
“I thought this would be training like all the rest, I was very wrong. I found the instructor to be very interesting and captive with what could be thought of as dry data. He did not read from a power point, did not teach strictly from a book, but provided information that got me excited about making a difference in our operation which ultimately improved the bottom line. I was not trained only, but was given the opportunity to certify, which verified I understood the training.”
