Training

Do your staff have all the statistical skills they need? Would your business benefit from more data-driven insight, planning and decision-making? Our statistical training programmes provide your team with the skills they need to turn the data you hold into a valuable source of information to improve and grow your business.

We deliver bespoke workshops to train your staff in relevant techniques and software. They can then undertake the tasks that you currently outsource or which simply aren’t getting done at all.

Workshops are interactive and presented in your language. Where possible we use practical examples using your own data. Our courses are always taught by experienced consultants with a blend of technical and practical experience to ensure that your staff quickly gain the skills they need.

Whiteboard sessions provide a more interactive learning experience to complement formal teaching. These team-focused sessions are facilitated by one of our consultants and will help your staff think creatively and rationally about their data and consider new ways that it can be explored and used to improve your business.

Training programmes aren’t limited to the classroom. We also offer one-to-one tutorial sessions for individuals needing informal and focused assistance and support. If you’re not local to our Exeter office, we offer this service remotely via videoconference or Skype, or we can supply a local freelance consultant from the Select Network.

Our courses can cover virtually any statistical topic. Popular themes include:

• Statistical modelling from simple linear regression to mixed effects and generalised linear models
• Hypothesis testing
• Exploratory data analysis
• Sample size calculations
• Statistical modelling and data visualisation using R
