Yes. You can start learning experiment design skills on Coursera for free in two ways:

1. Preview the first module of many design of experiments courses at no cost. This includes video lessons, readings, graded assignments, and Coursera Coach (where available).
2. Start a 7-day free trial for Specializations or Coursera Plus. This gives you full access to all course content across eligible programs within the timeframe of your trial.

If you want to keep learning, earn a certificate in experiment design topics, or unlock full course access after the preview or trial, you can upgrade or apply for financial aid.‎

To learn design of experiments, begin by taking online courses or workshops that cover statistical methods and experimental design fundamentals. Applying what you learn through practical examples and real-world case studies can help reinforce key concepts. You can also deepen your understanding by joining study groups or online forums, where discussing ideas and challenges with peers can improve both comprehension and retention.‎

Typical topics covered in design of experiments courses include the principles of experimental design, types of designs (such as factorial and fractional factorial designs), randomization techniques, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and interpretation of results. Courses may also explore real-world applications in various fields, providing learners with practical insights into how DOE is utilized in different industries.‎

For training and upskilling employees in design of experiments, the Design of Experiments Specialization is an excellent choice. It offers a structured curriculum that can help teams understand the fundamentals of DOE and apply them effectively in their work. This specialization can enhance employees' analytical skills and improve their ability to contribute to data-driven decision-making processes.‎
