This programme is designed for individuals seeking to apply basic quantitative data analysis methods and gain foundational statistical thinking skills. Participants will learn to prepare data for analysis, calculate frequencies, central tendency, dispersion and shape indicators, and understand the significance of the normal distribution. The training focuses on practical application and helps participants develop the ability to interpret numerical results and formulate data-based conclusions. These skills are useful across multiple fields, including education, research, and organizational decision-making. The acquired knowledge enables participants to summarise quantitative data systematically and apply insights in real-world contexts.
