see what our graduates have to say:
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.
Highly recommended! The content was explained in an easy-to-understand way, and was practically applied so that you could see it in action.
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.
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.
Don’t waste your time shopping around, partner with Air Academy. We wasted three months vetting other companies.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 instructor was able to provide feedback/applications for ‘real world’ examples of the subject matter to our processes.

What Does The Black Belt Stand For?
Supervisors of Six Sigma project teams are expected to be Sigma Black Belts. Green Belts gather and evaluate data, and Black Belts supervise their work. Black Belts guarantee that the correct information is obtained and put to the best possible use. Often, Green Belts work part-time on a project, while a Black Belt usually works full-time.
An Air Academy Associates Certified Black Belt is a well-versed Lean Six Sigma Methodology professional who leads complex improvement projects.
A Lean Six Sigma Black Belt understands how to implement, perform, interpret and apply Lean Six Sigma at an advanced level of proficiency.
