Overview

Cross Civil Service

The intention of this course is not to turn policy professionals into data analysts. Instead, it is about giving you the confidence to effectively present the results of a piece of data analysis to decision-makers. This will only come from understanding, and feeling comfortable with, the process for data collection and analysis. It should allow middle and senior managers within the policy profession to act as an ‘intelligent’ customer; the intermediary who can both articulate data requirements to an analyst and communicate the results. Although primarily aimed at policy professionals, the course content should be equally useful for other professional groups.
