SPSS for beginners
For researchers involved in analysing data within their organisation, “SPSS for beginners” is a 1-day workshop that shows delegates how to use SPSS to input and analyse data and how to interpret and present the results. Unlike advanced statistical courses, this workshop focuses on descriptive statistical techniques like means, medians and cross-tabulation.
This seminar provides training on the basics of how to use SPSS. Participants will be presented with the basic format of SPSS data inputting, formatting, analysis, interpretation and presentation. Training will focus mostly on descriptive statistical techniques and how these can be used to analyse data relevant to your business needs (e.g. means, median, cross-tabulation). This seminar is led by G. Tendayi Viki.
