Overview

The course will introduce you to the fundamental
concepts of data research, such as quantitative and
qualitative research techniques, experimental and
non-experimental research approaches, and
inferential tests of real-time scenarios.
As you work through the course, you’ll learn
descriptive statistics, which summarise data from a
sample using indexes, such as the mean or standard
deviation, and inferential statistics, which draw
conclusions from data that are subject to random
variation (e.g., observational errors, sampling
variation).
The course consists of three modules and includes
demonstrations, hands-on activities, and knowledge
tests at the end of each section of the course.

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
