Every module we teach, and exactly what is in it
Research statistics taught the way they are actually used — the assumption that chooses the test, the SPSS path in full, and the sentence that reports it.

A · Research foundations
From research question to statistical analysis
Two checks. The first asks whether the question is worth doing; the second asks whether it is answerable at all.
Research designs and what each one can prove
That is the entire distinction, and it is the only thing that changes what your study can prove.
Variables and levels of measurement
Fifteen minutes, and it is the highest-return quarter of an hour in this course.
Sampling and sample size
That is the whole distinction, and everything you are allowed to say about a population follows from which side of it you are on.
C · Describing data
Normality and distribution checks
What "assumes normality" actually refers to, and the fact that it is usually the residuals and not the raw variable.
D · Comparing groups
E · Relationships and prediction
F · Scales and multivariate
Exploratory factor analysis and PCA
What factor analysis is for and how PCA differs from common factor analysis.
MANOVA
When several dependent variables belong in one analysis, and when they do not.
Cluster analysis
Segmentation as a research question.
G · Specialist methods
Survival analysis
Time-to-event data and why it cannot be analysed as a simple outcome.
Complex samples and survey weights
Why multistage survey data cannot be analysed as a simple random sample.
H · Reporting and defence
Writing the results and discussion
The order results should be presented in, and why it mirrors the objectives.

How it is sold
Take one module, a track, or the whole thing
Every module can be bought on its own if you only need one test. Most people take a programme — a named bundle that covers a whole job of work — and the modules you have already finished carry across if you upgrade later.
