Course Description
The online course in Design of Experiments (DOE) covers factorial design, ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) and interpretation of results.
The course is self-paced and interactive. It includes Excel based simulations like the simulation of a fibre tensile test. You carry out an experiment and then analyse data collected. The course also includes Excel-based software for analysing the types of design covered.

Feedback
Some of the feedback received from the past course participants:
- "The DOE course exceeded all of my expectations."
- "It was my first online course. I never dreamt that it could be done so systematically and in an organised manner. "
- " The Design of Experiments course provided a lot of valuable material that will be very useful in my day to day
quality responsibilities."
- "My mind has been stimulated and challenged with far more information than I expected. I have looked at other courses costing more which gave much less."
