SPSS Training Course Overview

SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) training guides you through the fundamentals of research methods and statistics before moving on to the use of SPSS. SPSS is a powerful statistical application package from IBM used for analysis of data. The training delivers the skill related to the use of SPSS environment for data understanding, data preparation, and ways of executing sequence of operations to derive the result in the required format.

By the end of this training, you’ll be proficient in the following:

  • Understanding the research process and be clear in which type of data you must collect and how to measure it
  • Differentiating among different statistical models and types of results and errors
  • Familiar with SPSS environment
  • Know how to use SPPS to work with graphs
  • Exploring groups of data and making assumptions to work on a problem
  • Use SPSS forvarious statistical procedures such as Correlation, Regression, Dependent and Independent T-test, Pearson Chi-Square
  • Compare Means,and conduct post hoc test
  • Run several tests for statistical significance and interpreted the results
Target audience
  • Researchers
  • Data architects
  • Data scientist
  • Data analyst
  • Decision makers
Prerequisites

The candidates having basic knowledge of statistics and computers are ideal for this training.
