Free webinar shows how Minitab's e-learning course helps people acquire and keep statistical knowledge. The session for audiences in Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia will be held on June 21.

Sydney, Australia (PRWEB) June 13, 2012

Statistics and data analysis play a central role in Six Sigma and other quality improvement methods in business and industry. But when organizations try to implement these methods, they frequently discover that not all employees understand statistics-and even those who have statistical training need to refresh their knowledge regularly. To help people involved in quality improvement initiatives get up to speed with statistics quickly, Minitab, the leading provider of software for quality improvement, introduced Quality Trainer, an e-learning course focused on statistics for Six Sigma and data analysis with Minitab Statistical Software. It's been enthusiastically adopted by companies including Caterpillar, Cummins, Baxter Healthcare and many more.

Organizations looking to increase the level of statistical skills among their employees can find out more in a free webinar, "Meet Quality Trainer," on June 21, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. Australian Eastern Time (GMT +10:00).

Participants will see how Quality Trainer can help them easily learn statistics and how to analyze their data using Minitab. Registration is free at http://www.minitab.com/training/web-events/.

Quality Trainer's engaging, Web-based design makes difficult statistical concepts easy to grasp and gives professionals convenient access to an ongoing resource for their projects. "Anyone can benefit from this opportunity to boost their statistical know-how and learn at their own pace," says Michelle Paret, product marketing manager at Minitab.

Using narration, animation and other multimedia, Quality Trainer teaches subscribers how to apply statistics and make the most effective use of their data.

The course's nine chapters cover basic graphical analysis and statistical inference, as well as more advanced techniques like process capability, analysis of variance and design of experiments.
