Programme Overview

This programme will help you develop skills that cover the whole range of the steps in the statistical consulting process: establishing a statistical consulting business, managing client sessions, applying appropriate statistical techniques, interpreting results and communicating the findings in clear, non-mathematical terms. The hands-on exercises consist of real-life datasets from industry, healthcare and government. Therefore, it serves as a model for your analysis in this programme.

A recent study revealed that statistical consulting is not taught separately in the curriculum of most universities or post secondary institutions across world. Dataville Research is proud to provide you with the knowledge and skills necessary to fill this wide gap of knowledge in the statistical consulting career path.

This programme is self-paced. Trainees and selected postgraduate observers will connect to the learning platform at their own time, access learning materials and return tasks within a reasonable deadline.
