We help our customers achieve concrete
training goals:
-
Increased Awareness:
We strive to increase your awareness of the utility of statistics as a
valuable problem investigation and decision-making tool.
-
Statistical Thinking:
You will learn the framework for thinking and communicating statistically.
-
Empowerment with Capability:
We will enhance your ability to identify and use appropriate statistical
methods and software for data collection and analysis.
-
Implementation: Our goal
is to see you successfully implement statistical thinking, decision-making,
and action in the work environment.
We’ve developed a unique
approach based on decades of industry and training experience. All of our
courses integrate a decision-based framework for thinking and communicating
statistically with lots of hands-on data application at the computer. We
offer two levels of courses in a variety of fields, as well as a preparation course:
- Preparation:
In our Elementary Statistics
course we emphasize understanding and describing data. Some topics covered include: data collection and recording, charts,
graphs, means, standard deviations, and other sample statistics. We use
easy, playful exercises and simple class experiments. Learn to use STATGRAPHICS
to communicate data results. This course is especially for secretaries,
admin support, production workers — anyone who has had no experience summarizing
and interpreting data (or forgot everything they learned!). Prerequisite:
High school diploma or GED.
-
Foundation:
Our Foundation
level course gives you the “big picture”, shows how statistical procedures fit
into this framework and teaches you how to use STATGRAPHICS
statistical software to effectively explore and analyze your data and make
sound decisions. Because the foundation courses teach statistical thinking,
design, and communication, as well as analysis, they are important even
for those already familiar with statistical analysis techniques. Even people who
have already had a course or two of college level statistics get a great deal
out of our foundation course.
-
Focus:
Our Focus level courses provide in-depth grounding in the most important areas of statistical
methodology, or methods requiring a higher level of preparation,
and they can be tailored to suit the needs of particular clients in each
application area.
Every course contains coached
workshop time for students to work with their own data. All courses are
four days in length unless otherwise indicated (with optional 5th day for our
Industrial Foundation and DOE courses) and are available on-site,
as well as at our public location. |
