General Questions
What is ANOVA Academy and how does it work?
ANOVA Academy is an online learning platform offering practical training in data analysis, quality tools, and process improvement. Courses focus on software like Minitab and Excel, with problem-solving and other topics coming soon. Training is self-paced and available in video or eBook format, designed to help individuals and teams build real-world skills that make an impact.
Who are these courses for?
Our courses are designed for anyone in the manufacturing industry. Our clients include plant managers, quality leaders, CI and OpEx teams, engineers, analysts, and technicians who need training in data analysis, Excel, Minitab, and problem-solving tools. Courses support both beginners and experienced professionals, whether the goal is personal growth or team-wide upskilling.
How is the training delivered?
How long does it take to complete a course?
How do I enroll as an individual?
Start by selecting a course or bundle and completing your payment. If there is no account under the email used, the system will prompt you to create one. Once your account is created, the course appears directly in your dashboard for immediate access. If there is already an account under that email, the course is automatically added to that account.
How do I enroll my team?
When purchasing a multi-seat license, the buyer becomes the account owner. After checkout, the owner is directed to a license assignment page to enter names and email addresses for each team member (press Enter after entering every email address). Each team member receives an enrollment email. Once they click their link and set a password, their learner profile is created under the team license.
How long do I have access to my course?
Each learner gets 12 months of access from their enrollment date. During that time, all lessons, Coach’s Challenges, quizzes, exercises, and downloadable resources remain available and can be revisited at any time.
What is your vision for the future of manufacturing training?
Our goal is to help manufacturers move beyond one-time workshops and toward continuous, applied learning. In addition to our current Minitab and Excel courses, we’re developing training in Problem Solving Beyond Firefighting, Pivot Tables for Manufacturers, Advanced Formulas, Solver and Scenarios, Excel Macros, Basic Stats in Excel, Dashboards, Measurement System Analysis, Multiple Variable Analysis, Non-Normal Distribution, and a Team Role Analyzer with AI.
Why do manufacturers choose ANOVA over other platforms?
Manufacturers trust ANOVA because we combine hands-on learning with built-in accountability, manager visibility, AI-powered support, and industry-specific Coach’s Challenges. We make it easier for companies to upskill their teams with training that sticks and delivers real results in day-to-day work.
What industries do you serve?
We support manufacturers across a wide range of sectors, including automotive, aerospace, metals, electronics, consumer goods, and industrial equipment. If your teams rely on Excel or Minitab to solve problems, we can help.
What experience do your instructors and creators have?
Our training is built by experienced manufacturing professionals who understand real plant environments and focus on the tools manufacturers rely on most. They’ve used that knowledge to create step-by-step Coach’s Challenges after each module, helping learners apply what they’ve learned directly to their day-to-day work.
