Training

A course’s name should effectively communicate the content it will offer you. We’ve changed the names of the Dimensions courses and revised the content of many of them to better reflect the breadth of Dimensions, so that you can understand Dimensions products more clearly and use them more confidently.

You’ll notice major improvements in the Dimensions courses:

• Consistent scenarios drive the course exercises. Because the lessons build upon each other, it’s easier for you to see the big picture, measure your skills, and identify or create a development process for future projects.
• Course titles clearly convey the skills you’ll develop and your role as an end user. Whether you’d like to enhance your programming skills, create reports or tables, or build simple surveys, the new courses titles make it easy for you and your manager to determine which courses will meet your needs.
• Course content focuses on how you’ll apply the software. The content of the new Dimensions courses isn’t driven by product names or features. Instead, the courses are designed to help you use the software more effectively. This application approach ensures that you’ll get the most value from SPSS’ software.
