SPSS Course
We offer the SPSS course in digital form as an online seminar via Zoom ("live and 'unlimited' quota of seats" on your own computer, no course recording, a maximum of one day of absence is allowed for successful participation). The updated course materials will be made available for download to registered participants (see below) at the beginning of each course. We will inform you about the dates and details on our homepage under Teaching or separately by e-mail.
If you have any questions about our courses, please use the contact form to send them to the institute's teaching coordinator.
Course objective
Practical exercises on the computer should enable you to record your data and to carry out simple evaluations yourself, since our institute cannot do this work for you. If you have problems with the content, you can receive statistical advice.
