Public courses

SPSS offers more than 50 public training courses in more than 20 cities across North America.

Whether you are a novice or an expert with your software, you’ll find a class to fit your needs.

To receive the most knowledge and the best value for your money, sign up for the Training Subscription Service, which allows you take an unlimited number of classes in a 6-month period at one low price.

On-site training

When you select on-site training, you’ll receive two or more days of standard or customized training at your organization. An expert trainer leads the sessions. You’ll use your own computers and you can analyze either your data or ours. On-site training is an excellent choice for organizations that would like to provide the same quality of training to large groups of software users at the best possible price.
