Live Online Data Management, Analysis, and Visualization Using SPSS Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Dec 7, 2026 · from USD 800
Survey and research datasets quickly become unmanageable when variables are poorly labelled, codes are inconsistent and each analysis is rebuilt from scratch. Work starts in the SPSS Data and Variable views, defining value labels, measurement levels and missing values, and importing records from Excel and CSV files. You then clean and transform data with Recode, Compute, Select Cases, Split File and merging, and record each step in syntax so it can be repeated. Analysis sessions cover frequencies, descriptives, crosstabs with chi-square, t-tests, ANOVA, correlation and linear regression.
Visualization days show how to build and edit bar charts, histograms, scatterplots and clustered charts in Chart Builder, then export clean tables and graphics to Word and PowerPoint. Each participant works through a complete dataset from raw file to finished report, interpreting outputs in plain language. Researchers, M&E staff, postgraduate students, health and social science professionals and analysts in public or NGO settings will find the workflow transferable to their own projects. By the end you can prepare a reliable analysis file, choose appropriate tests and present results that support informed decisions.

About this course
This practical and interactive training focuses on helping participants use SPSS to manage data efficiently, perform statistical analysis, and present findings through meaningful visualizations. The course explores data preparation, descriptive and inferential statistics, reporting techniques, and visualization methods. Participants will gain hands-on experience in transforming data into actionable insights that support organizational learning, planning, and performance improvement.
Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from technology organizations, digital transformation programmes, data-driven enterprises, and public sector IT environments, examining how data management, analysis, and visualization using SPSS is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down. Delegates will develop practical skill in designing appropriate frameworks, selecting and applying the right tools for preparing and transforming data, interpreting findings, and communicating conclusions clearly to colleagues, management and external stakeholders. Sessions move deliberately from principles to application, so that each technique introduced is practised against a realistic problem before the programme moves on — strengthening both individual effectiveness and the wider capability of the organizations delegates return to.
