The objective of the one-day training program is to instill confidence in the usage of statistics and interpretation of various research data. SPSS and AMOS are User-friendly Windows-based statistical software and powerful and versatile tools for data analysis. The training combines lecture and practices sessions. Course involved an analysis of a subset of a large dataset but participant(s) who are currently working on a particular research project are welcome to being their own data to work on for the duration of the training.

The course is recommended for faculty members, graduate students, business analysts and other researchers who want to enhance their data analysis capability. The training targets those with limited statistical background and is also an appropriate refresher for those whose statistical experience was gained many years ago.
