January 8th, 2017: A group of 17 employees from the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) have completed a two-day course in SPSS Statistical Analysis for Surveys, conducted by Canadian University Dubai (CUD).
The training provided participants with an insight into designing effective questionnaires, matching questions and appropriate statistical techniques, and using SPSS results for analyzing project data for reporting purposes. It was delivered by Hezlin Harris, who has extensive experience in teaching Statistics and SPSS to undergraduate and postgraduate students and has worked with clients in the field of telecommunication, manufacturing and education.
Anuar Berahim, Corporate Training Manager at CUD, said, “This is the first training program delivered for RTA by Canadian University Dubai, and covered key areas of statistical analysis for surveys. The participants were very enthusiastic in acquiring updates in this important field. We look forward to providing more such courses to RTA and other government organisations.”
The certificates were presented to the participants by Brian Banford, CUD's Executive Director, Community Outreach and Corporate Relationships.
The participants praised the course and the topics covered, “Our core area is data analysis and traffic accidents. Currently, we are doing analysis with a different application, but SPSS is an analysis app programme that can produce better results. What I liked about the course is that the trainer tailored it smartly though the participants came from different fields and levels of awareness,” said one of the trainees.
Another participant added, “The course was informative and up to date. We discovered that with SPSS we can get more accurate results. This knowledge will enable us to analyse more effectively people’s requirements and satisfaction levels.”
