SPSS is used extensively in business, government and academia. It is a statistical analysis package and so allows any organization or individual that holds large amounts of data to analyze it and understand it more deeply. At its most simple it is very useful for discovering correlations between different variables. At its most powerful it can be used to make statistically valid forecasts for future events or results.

Everything in our course is aimed at making you a faster and more relaxed SPSS user. Our courses are deliberately hands-on including lots of small exercises and examples to ensure that you spend time working with SPSS. We believe that software skills that are developed in this way are deeper than those developed from classroom explanations. Our exercises are carefully chosen to emphasis the key aspects of each lesson.
