Hi Katie, I don't know of any online training. What helped me in my own work and made it fun is a book I read that made it so simple: Andy Field's Discovering Statistics Using SPSS http://www.amazon.com/Discovering-Statistics-Introducing-Statistical-Method/... <http://www.amazon.com/Discovering-Statistics-Introducing-Statistical-Method/dp/1847879071/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1305750084&sr=8-1>It made all extra courses irrelevant! Just a golden tip! Kind regards, Nadia Dresscher 2011/5/18 katie vizenor <kvizenor@gmail.com>
Hi.
I am entering the research/analyst job market and realize that I need to improve my SPSS skills. I took a graduate level stats class with an SPSS component, but it was not very thorough or practical. Since most of my work is qualitative, I have not had a great need for this software.
Could anyone provide suggestions for SPSS training, either online or in-person classroom training in the DC metropolitan area (I live in Northern Virginia).
Really, I just need practical software training.
Or, if anyone knows how best to go about gaining this skill. I have found that many jobs want proficiency in SPSS, but the only real way to become super proficient in the software is through a job. A catch-22. Also, there seems to be a range of meanings in terms of what "proficiency" means.
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.
All my best,
