Practical Statistics Courses

As well as our in-house courses, we are currently running a limited programme of practical statistics courses throughout the UK. These are open to anyone from both the UK and abroad.

Track record of success

Over the years our statistics workshops have helped thousands of scientists, engineers, technologists and data scientists to use statistical methods to extract information and insights from their data. This has enabled clients to improve their processes, reduce costs and increase their company’s bottom line. By the end of the course you will know how to put statistics to work within your own organisation which will add value for both you and your employer.

Proven training approach

You’ll find that our courses are practical, interactive and stimulating. They are designed to show you how to put statistics to work and we promise not to blind you with theory. You will gain confidence in using statistical methods, as they are introduced during the lecture, then reinforced by tutorials and exercises, before being put to work in an interactive case exercise.

Interactive case exercises are based on real-life processes and challenges, similar to ones found in your workplace. During group exercise you will compete with other groups as you design trials and analyse your data, to solve problems and optimise the process. Working in small groups you will receive individual attention.

Above all, you will enjoy the course and learn that statistics can be fun!

High quality lecturers and tutors

Each course will usually be led by two tutors who will encourage you throughout the course. They have been chosen to be on our team because of their practical experience of statistics in industry and their approachable, sympathetic and helpful style. Even if you are new to statistics and have no mathematical training, they will make sure that you gain new skills which can be applied when you return to work.

Comprehensive course materials

You will receive a comprehensive course manual so there’s no need for note taking and you can refer back to it once you’re back at work. We even take the pain out of calculations by providing you with user friendly computer software. In fact, if you can cut and paste you’ll be able to easily do the sums! Known as Crunch – this set of Excel utilities will be made available for you to take away at the end of the course free of charge. This will allow you to put the statistical methods you have learned during the workshop into practice on your return to work.

Free problem solving and consultancy sessions

Please feel free to bring along problems from your own work to ask the trainers for their advice – they love a challenge. A free confidential consultancy session is also included on the course where we can work through your own data challenges together.

Convenient venues

All our venues have been chosen for their excellent training facilities and are easily accessible by car, train and plane. They also offer attractive and comfortable rooms and we have negotiated a special rate for those who need overnight accommodation.

Networking opportunities

One of the big benefits of our open courses is that there is plenty of time over coffee breaks, meals and during the evening, to network with both our lecturers and attendees from other companies within a variety of industries. Over the years this has led to some fruitful collaborations and new business opportunities. You’ll also find that other people face the same challenges at work and you will be able to pick up tips on how to handle them in the future.
