Overview
Introduction to IBM SPSS
SPSS is widely covered due to its straightforward and English-like command language and impressively thorough user manual. SPSS is considered and accepted as an extremely powerful tool for manipulating and deciphering survey data.
SPSS is used by market researchers, health researchers, survey companies, government entities, education researchers, marketing organisations, data miners, and many more for processing and analysing survey data.
Major Benefits:
- SPSS offers reliable and fast answers.
- It has very dynamic and useful tables and graphs
- Better user interface compared to other software.
- Provides feedback in decision making.
- Various types of complex statistical tests are available as a built-in feature.
- Higher Job opportunities.
Popular Career Opportunities:
- Data Analyst
- Thesis Analysis
- Research Analyst
- Data scientist
The course is designed to provide students with transferable skills, to understand the uses of SPSS, as a tool to summarise and aid in the interpretation of research findings.

StudentI met my expectations; Before I joined the class I used to get afraid of seeing numbers as well as stats problems. Today I learned about being more confident working with numbers. Facilitation was very simple and easy to grab.
Everything was completed very smoothly.
Thank you!

Master's StudentIt had been a good experience, SPSS training helped me gain proficiency in data analysis and statistical modeling. I learned how to import, clean, and analyze data using various techniques. The training enhanced my ability to derive meaningful insights and make informed decisions based on statistical results. Please inform me if there are any other such courses.
