SPSS is not one product but two sharing a surname, plus the pieces that put them into production. SPSS Statistics is the one with the tests and the regression, used in research, quality and market studies. SPSS Modeler is the one with the streams and the predictive models, used to work out who is about to leave or what is going to sell. We deliver the twenty courses in the family, and two more that belong to neither product: deploying the models and turning them into decisions.
Four of the twenty have instructor-led sessions in IBM’s catalogue — 0G53BG and 0G51BG in Statistics, 0A069G and 0A079G in Modeler. The other sixteen have no open dates in its catalogue today, and that is what we bring: the same official outline with an instructor and labs, on whichever release you have installed.
Training for teams: online, classroom or at your premises, in closed groups of four to ten people, with Credly badges. Tell us which release you run when you ask for dates. If you are coming on your own rather than for a company, write anyway and we will tell you which session fits.
The ideal path
If your job is answering questions with data — is this difference significant, does this variable matter — the order is handling SPSS Statistics (0G53BG) to handle the software, statistical analysis (0G51BG) for tests and regression, and advanced analysis (0G09BG) when you have to go multivariate.
If what you need is to predict, start with Modeler foundations (0A069G), which is where you learn to prepare the data, and follow with machine learning models (0A079G), which walks the models and teaches you to choose between them. From there everyone goes after their own problem: time series (0A028G) for time series, clustering and association (0A048G) for segmentation, Text Analytics (0A108G) for free text.
And when the model works but lives on somebody’s laptop, Collaboration and Deployment Services (0S006G) moves it into a repository with versions and scheduled jobs, and decision management (0S114G) turns it into an automatic decision.
By level
Beginner. handling SPSS Statistics (0G53BG) to handle SPSS Statistics, Modeler foundations (0A069G) for SPSS Modeler, and automated modeling (0A018G) if what you need is a quick model without going into the statistics.
Intermediate. statistical analysis (0G51BG) for tests and regression, machine learning models (0A079G) for the model catalogue, categorical targets (0A0U8G) and continuous targets (0A0V8G) to predict categories and quantities, data preparation (0A058G) for the data preparation that eats half a project, and time series (0A028G) for forecasting.
Expert. advanced analysis (0G09BG) for multivariate work, advanced modeling (0A038G) and advanced models (0A039G) for SVM, Random Trees, XGBoost and generalized linear models, Text Analytics (0A108G) for text mining, and Collaboration and Deployment Services (0S006G) and decision management (0S114G) to put all of it into production.
Which code matches you
The four current ones are handling SPSS Statistics (0G53BG) and statistical analysis (0G51BG) in Statistics, and Modeler foundations (0A069G) and machine learning models (0A079G) in Modeler. If your licence is a V25 — the V25 edition (0G53AG), the V25 edition (0G51AG) or the V25 edition (0G09AG) — or a Modeler 18.1 — introduction to Modeler (0A008G) —, that is exactly the course that matches it, not the one for the next release.
