Why this SPSS training course?

SPSS is a widely used program for statistical analysis in social science. SPSS is a powerful suite of data analytics, reporting and modeling software. It is the data analytics software package of choice for people who are working on livelihood and employment-oriented programme and projects, and they need to analyze quantitative data that they are collecting from the field within the framework of monitoring, evaluation, and reporting activities. This training course will enable a wide range of users who need to quickly and accurately carry out statistical analysis of data related to labor market.

 

SPSS functionality ranges from simple plots and charts; through to much more sophisticated statistical tests. Although very broadly applicable, SPSS is very well-suited to analyzing survey data. It has a very broad range of applications from the relatively simple like calculating frequencies and creating lists and charts through to the far more advanced like variance analysis, multivariate statistical analysis and cluster analysis, as well as data analysis functions for testing hypothesis, building predictive models, and enable data-driven decision making.
