The Statistical Consultation Services (SCS) of the Potchefstroom Campus of North-West University has been in existence since 1980.
SCS provides assistance to:
-
North-West University post graduate students and personnel.
-
Other universities’ post graduate students and personnel.
-
Any private sector clients (persons and institutions not affiliated with any university).
*SCS only provides assistance with quantitative aspects of research.
Note:
SCS recommends that clients should consult with SCS during planning stages of a research project, and not only after data has been collected.
Also, if it is a student project, then the supervisor / promoter must accompany the student during the first consultation.
Short Courses:
Several accredited short courses in Statistics are also available.
- They consist of both a theoretical and a practical component. The practical component is performed in statistical computer software packages such as STATISTICA, SPSS and R.
- Short courses can also be tailor-made for companies to satisfy their individual training needs in terms of content, statistical analysis software, course length etc.
- These could also be presented in-house if more than fifteen delegates attend.
