Training process

Training needs analysis

If you have specific requirements regarding the training programme, we will carry out a training needs analysis for you. This will guide us on which aspects of the programme should receive greater emphasis, so that the training programme meets your specific needs.

What will you gain?

icon

Confident SPSS use - You will learn to navigate IBM SPSS with confidence, use the statistical menus efficiently, and work smoothly with data, output, and chart windows without wasting time.

icon

Reliable data handling - You will learn how to import and export datasets, recognize variable types, create new fields, and save files correctly so your data is ready for further analysis.

icon

Dataset preparation - You will master filtering, sorting, and variable transformations, as well as sampling and missing values, so you can prepare a clean dataset before statistical analysis.

icon

Clear data description - You will learn how to choose and interpret measures of central tendency and variability for qualitative and quantitative data to describe your dataset accurately.

icon

Variable modification - You will practice standardization and normalization, so you can prepare variables for comparison, modeling, and further calculations in a consistent, correct way.

icon

Outlier detection - You will learn how to examine distributions and identify outliers, helping you spot errors, unusual cases, and factors that could distort your statistical results.

icon

Relationships and regression - You will explore relationships between variables using correlation, scatterplots, and regression, so you can assess association strength and build better explanatory models.

icon

Statistical inference - You will understand how to analyze causality and apply one-way and multifactor variance models, so you can compare groups properly and draw sound conclusions from data.

Training programme

1. IBM SPSS – introduction

  • IBM SPSS – what it is, 
  • statistical menu options,
  • windows: data, output viewer, charts,
  • help.

2. Working with files and data

  • import and export of data,
  • presentation of data types,
  • new variables – creation,
  • saving data.

3. Operations on data

  • filtering and sorting,
  • variables – transformations,
  • random samples,
  • missing values.

4. Descriptive measures of data

  • measures of variability: variance, deviations, coefficient of variation,
  • measures of location: mean, median, mode, quartiles,
  • qualitative and quantitative data.

5. Data modification

  • standardization,
  • normalization.

6. Statistical analysis

  • distribution analysis,
  • outlying observations.

7. Relationships between two variables – analysis

  • correlation coefficients,
  • scatter plot.

8. Regression

9. Causality – analysis

  • in the regression model,
  • in the structural model.

10. Variance

  • one-factor models,
  • multifactor models.

What are the prerequisites for participating in the training?

icon

Basic statistics - You should understand core statistical concepts such as mean, median, variance, and correlation so you can follow the analyses performed in SPSS with ease.

icon

Tabular data skills - You should be able to read and organize tabular data, identify rows and columns, and understand the difference between qualitative and quantitative variables.

icon

Computer literacy - You should feel comfortable using a computer, opening and saving files, and moving around software windows, because the course is based on hands-on SPSS work.

icon

Chart interpretation - You should be able to read basic charts and result tables so you can more easily interpret distributions, variable relationships, and model outputs.
