Diploma in Practical Research Methods and Data Analysis: SPSS, Stata, NVivo, and Referencing Tools

This course is a step-by-step guide to mastering research methods and data analysis in the most practical way. Whether you are a student working on your first research project or a professional looking to improve your skills, this course is designed to make research simple and useful for you. You will learn how to start with an idea, ask good questions, and turn those questions into a full research project. We focus on tools that make research easier and faster. You will use SPSS to organize and analyze numbers, Stata for more advanced data work, and NVivo to make sense of interviews, surveys, and written text. For referencing and citations, you will learn how to use EndNote, a tool that keeps your sources tidy and saves you hours of work. At every stage, you will practice what you learn. You’ll clean data, create graphs, test ideas, and write reports. By the end of this course, you won’t just understand research—you’ll know how to do it well. You’ll have skills that you can use in school, in work, and even to solve real-world problems. This course doesn’t just teach you facts. It gives you the confidence to say, “I can do research, and I can do it right.” Whether you’re writing a paper, solving a community problem, or making decisions based on data, this course will prepare you to do it like a pro.
