GETTING STARTED WITH STATS
This course is aimed at all who need to learn about the very basics of
analysing and presenting statistical data. No prior knowledge of
statistics is assumed. Anyone who needs to deal with data in their
work should be able to participate fully.

STARTER COURSE IN STATISTICS
An expanded version of our "Getting Started with Stats" course,
incorporating presentation of data and questionnaire design.

COMPARING GROUPS
This course is aimed at all who have groups in their data that need to
be compared and contrasted, whether the data come from a survey,
experiment or elsewhere, and covers topics in hypothesis testing.

RELATIONSHIPS IN DATA
This course is aimed at all who need to examine their data for
relationships that may or may not exist, whether the data come from
a survey, experiment or elsewhere, and covers the topics of simple
and multiple regression.

ESSENTIAL DATA ANALYSIS
This course combines our two one-day courses "Comparing Groups"
and "Relationships in Data."

INTERMEDIATE/REFRESHER COURSE IN STATISTICS
This is a course aimed at all who wish to improve their competence
and confidence in analysing data from surveys and experiments. You
are encouraged to bring your own data for discussion/analysis. It is
assumed that delegates on this course will have a knowledge of
probability, the Normal distribution and hypothesis testing. Those
whose experience of these topics is some time in the past should
find sufficient reminders given to enable them to participate fully.

HIGHER COURSE IN STATISTICS
This course is aimed at those with a working knowledge of statistics
who wish to learn about or improve their competence and confidence
in using more advanced methods of analysing data. You are
encouraged to bring your own data for discussion/analysis. It is
assumed that delegates on this course will have a knowledge of
probability, the Normal distribution, hypothesis testing and
regression techniques. Those whose experience of these topics is
some time in the past should find sufficient reminders given to enable
them to participate fully.

SURVEY DESIGN AND SAMPLE SIZE
This course is aimed at all who need to design surveys, covering the
topics of good survey design, sample size determination and power.

ONE-DAY COURSE IN SAS PROGRAMMING
This course is aimed at programmers or statisticians with some
knowledge of SAS or those new to SAS and transferring from another
statistical package. It is suited to anyone who wishes to develop a
knowledge of SAS programming. No prior knowledge of statistics is
required. Anyone whose work would involve them using SAS should
be able to participate fully.

ONE-DAY COURSE IN R
This course is aimed at people who are interested in using R: a
freely-available computer package for statistics used by professional
statisticians. The command language used by R is very similar to that
used by S-PLUS, and this course also acts as an introduction to the
command language used by this package. No prior knowledge of
statistics is required. Anyone whose work would involve them using a
statistics package should be able to participate fully.
