Learn Basic Statistics

Statistics help us make sense of data by revealing patterns, trends, and evidence that support decision‑making. Whether you are applying statistics to study, research, or professional practice, a strong understanding of statistics enables you to interpret information accurately and apply evidence‑based thinking.

This beginner‑friendly CPD course covers the core skills for working effectively with data. Learn Basic Statistics is designed for anyone who is new to statistics or looking to strengthen their foundational knowledge for study, research, or professional practice.

Whether you work with data occasionally, are preparing to use statistics, or are refreshing your knowledge, this course provides the essential understanding needed to make sense of the numbers around you.

Using a methodical approach, each module builds on the last, reinforcing key concepts and developing a strong foundation of understanding.

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to interpret data and visualisations, understand common statistical concepts, and apply evidence‑based thinking when viewing statistics.

This self‑paced course allows you to progress at a time and speed that suits you; while we recommend around 12 hours to complete the course, this may vary depending on your experience and learning style.
