RSS Professional Development Centre
The RSS Professional Development Centre has been launched in January 2007
with the aim to enhance the provision of continuing professional development
for statisticians and users of statistics.
We have three courses available for registration and plan to advertise many
more during the next few months.
* A One-Day Course on 'Presenting Data' - 19th April 2007 & 13th
September 2007 - The Royal Statistical Society, London
This one day course is the foundation to all presentations of statistical
information. The basic principles of presenting information in tables,
charts, maps and text are explained. These are illustrated and then
re-enforced through practical exercises.
The course is for anyone who is involved in communicating statistics to non
statisticians or who reports on data - of any description - within
organisations, to specific communities and to the general public where a
message is being given.
* A One Day Course on 'Consulting Skills' - 15th May 2007 - The Royal
Statistical Society, London
This course is a highly participative workshop for statisticians who wish to
improve their ability to help non-statistical clients. Discussions and
interactive exercise will allow participants to explore the non-statistical
issues that can undermine effective consultancy.
* A Two-Day Course on 'Multilevel Modelling' - 21 - 22 June 2007 - The
Royal Statistical Society, London
This course is designed to give participants a solid grounding in the theory
and application of multilevel models. The course will be based around
theoretical sessions followed by "hands on" practical sessions illustrating
the theoretical concepts. The hands on sessions will use the MLwiN software
package.
The course is suitable for statisticians and quantitative researchers with
an interest in the analysis of hierarchically structured data. Previous
participants have included university researchers from the social sciences,
medicine and public health, and government statisticians (e.g.DfES, Home
Office, ONS). The course will not assume a high level of statistical
knowledge, but participants should be familiar with the application and
interpretation of multiple regression analysis.
If you are interested in attending one of the above courses please visit
www.rss.org.uk/courses <www.rss.org.uk/courses> for a registration form.
Upcoming training courses will also be posted here in the near future.
