Aaron Newby

Automation Engineer
Our organization has partnered with ANOVA many times for training in statistics, advanced Excel, and multiple levels of Minitab instruction. Each engagement exceeded expectations. ANOVA provides excellent transitions from introductory concepts to advanced analytical techniques. Their depth of knowledge in Minitab is outstanding, and their professionalism during training empowered our workforce to analyze large data sets with confidence. Our quality teams and engineers have significantly improved their root cause analysis capabilities, resulting in faster problem resolution.

Rich Hirsh

LSS Master BB, Consultant
ANOVA sets the gold standard for Excel and Minitab training. Their lessons are clear, concise, and grounded in over 40 years of proven, real-world experience. Having worked closely with the content creators and instructors, Helene and Erik Lagace, I can confidently say their ability to connect with learners, whether beginners or advanced statisticians, is unmatched. If you are looking for training that truly makes a difference, this is a game changer.

Mandy Stevens

Quality Operating System Manager | LSS Black Belt
As a Continuous Improvement Manager rebuilding a team from scratch, I believed that if you hire the right people and put them in the right seat, skills can be trained. ANOVA made that belief a reality. Their training was passionate, tailored, and collaborative, building a confident team that turned data into insights and delivered measurable business results.

Dan Manrique

Cold Mill Process Metallurgist | LSS Black Belt
The coaching I received from ANOVA founder Helene Lagace was instrumental in my achieving my Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Certification. Their advanced Microsoft Excel and Minitab training provided the tools needed to bring statistical control to complex processes. I have seen this directly in the reduction of variation in the processes I am responsible for. Thank you ANOVA.

Jake Lucas

Casting Process Engineer | LSS Black Belt
I have been through several ANOVA training courses and always learn something new, even on topics I was familiar with before. They do an excellent job addressing different levels of experience and teaching to individual needs, even in a mixed group. Whether you are new to a topic or experienced in it, I highly recommend training with ANOVA.

Ashley Spencer

ABS Strategic Analyst | LSS Black Belt
ANOVA Minitab training is the best available. The mix of hands-on exercises and real-world manufacturing data sets makes everything clear and practical. Their instructors have real experience in production environments, not just theory, and it shows. Learning how to apply regression, capability analysis, and control charts to our processes has helped me identify issues earlier and make better decisions supported by data.
