Course Overview
The Screening Designs Short Course helps professionals identify which factors matter most before investing in larger or more detailed experiments. It focuses on efficient early-stage experimentation methods that reduce trial counts while still revealing the strongest signals in a process, product, or system. This makes it a strong option for professionals looking for a design of experiments course online with practical emphasis on screening strategy.
Why This Course Matters
Screening designs are useful when there are many possible factors but limited time, budget, or test capacity. The published structure covers the objectives, advantages, and disadvantages of screening, then moves into Taguchi, fractional factorial, hybrid, and definitive screening design approaches for different factor types and levels. It also extends into high-throughput and nearly orthogonal designs, which makes the course especially relevant for modern technical experimentation.
Software Support Included
This course includes a Quantum XL demo. Air Academy describes Quantum XL as an Excel add-in for statistical analysis and Monte Carlo simulation, with features such as reliability modeling, improved distribution fitting, distribution calculators, Johnson transformation, and control chart enhancements.

Course Structure
- Brief review of the objective, advantages and disadvantages of screening
- Screening designs
- Taguchi L12 (2 levels)
- Res IV fractional factorial (2 levels)
- Taguchi L18 (3 levels)
- Hybrid (mix of 2-level and 3-level factors in a Taguchi L12 design)
- Definitive Screening Designs (DSD) (3 levels)
- High Throughput Tests (HTT) (mixed factor and mixed levels)
- Nearly Orthogonal Latin Hypercube Designs (NOLHDs) (high number of factors/high number of levels)
Learning Objectives
By the end of this course, participants should be able to:
- explain the purpose, strengths, and limits of screening designs
- distinguish between common screening approaches for different factor structures
- understand two-level factorial design concepts in screening applications
- recognize where Taguchi L12, Resolution IV fractional factorial, and Taguchi L18 designs fit
- understand mixed-level hybrid screening strategies
- describe the role of definitive screening design in efficient factor discovery
- recognize how high-throughput and nearly orthogonal designs support large-factor studies
- understand how screening can prepare the way for later optimization or response surface design work
These objectives are based on the course structure published on the product page.

What Sets Us Apart
Air Academy Associates was one of the very first providers of the Lean Six Sigma methodologies. Our team has worked with Jack Welch, Mikel Harry, and Bill Smith, and Air Academy continues to stand out as a long-running Lean Six Sigma Training and Certification company. Over more than 35 years in operation, the organization says it has taught and trained close to 1 million people globally, which helps explain why clients continue to trust Air Academy for coaching and advanced technical education.
Now, Air Academy Associates offers the same long-standing training experience in an online, self-paced format. For this page, that means flexible access to a design of experiments course online that focuses specifically on screening methods used to narrow many possible factors into a practical next step for analysis. Air Academy also presents itself as an SDVOSB and highlights support across government, business, industry, and healthcare through experienced instructors and advisors.
We specialize in training and implementing performance improvement methodologies centered on Lean Six Sigma White Belt, Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt, Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, and Lean Six Sigma Black Belt courses. That foundation extends into advanced technical topics such as Design of Experiments and Advanced Test Designs, which are directly relevant to screening work. The Screening Designs Short Course reflects that strength by covering methods such as Resolution IV fractional factorials, mixed-level hybrids, and definitive screening design, while also supporting analytical work through the included Quantum XL demo.
Our Clients Trust Us and Like What We Offer
Our certifications and technical training have supported professionals across industry, government, and healthcare. For this course, the value is not generic statistics instruction, but practical screening methods that help teams identify the most important variables quickly, reduce unnecessary testing, and prepare for later optimization steps such as model building or response surface design.
That focus aligns closely with the course structure already published on the page and with Air Academy’s broader DOE training direction.
Reviews & Testimonials
“I would highly recommend this Lean Six Sigma Online Greenbelt training. The course and tools are designed to bring success to the students & businesses. The skills learned will bring value throughout your career.”
“Air Academy provides high quality consulting, coaching and education developed with close partnership with the client so that the efforts are well aligned with organizational goals. The expertise in Lean Six Sigma is superb and in addition, there is a wealth of leadership coaching that is invaluable. We have grown significantly in our Lean culture and leadership skills since engaging with Air Academy!”
“Air Academy Associates’ timeliness of performance is outstanding. They provided all requested support on time. They were proactive in setting up status meetings and managing control documents to assure deliverables were delivered on time and as specified.”
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.”
