Qualification Certificate
Statistics is an important skill for anyone involved or are interested in the measurement and prediction of trends in either markets, science, the environment or health science. It is one of the true tools that is cross-disciplinary.
Course Aims:
- Become familiar with different statistical terms and the elementary representation of statistical data.
- Become familia with distributions, and the application of distributions in processing data.
- Apply measures of central tendency in solving research questions
- Demonstrate and explain the normal curve, percentiles and standard scores.
- Explain methods of correlation that describes the relationship between two variables.
- Make predictions with regression equations.
- Determine how much error to expect when making the predictions.
- Explain the basic concepts of underlying the use of statistics to make inferences.
- Analyse the difference between the means of two groups with the t Test.
- Describe the use of ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) in analysing the difference between two or more groups.
- Apply the concept of Non Parametric Statistics

When you have completed the lessons of your Certificate course, you will be given the option of taking the optional exam. It's okay if you don't want the exam, we still issue your Careerline Certificate. For Advanced Certificates however, the exam is compulsory (per module) and are included in the course fee.

Course Tutor(s)
Our science courses are taught by a range of different tutors depending on the area of expertise. We have specialised tutors in environmental science, animal (veterinary) science, human nutrition and health science and so on. At enrollment you will be assigned your tutor who is an expert in that field. You will receive a welcome email from them within 1 - 2 days of enrollment so you will be able to contact them as soon as you need to.
Some subjects such as biochemistry are an integral part of many sciences including animal (veterinary science), human health science and many parts of environmental science. We have many experienced tutors who are qualified to teach introductory biochemistry. Depending upon your particular interest in biochemistry we will assign a tutor in the appropriate field at enrollment.
