The Certificate in Statistics and Data Analysis was developed following a Scientific Skills Survey which was conducted by the Wales Ireland Network for Scientific Skills (WINSS) team to address the scientific skills gaps within industries based in Dublin, Meath, Kildare, Waterford, Kilkenny, Wexford, Wicklow, Carlow, South Tipperary, Cork and Kerry. The survey was sent to more than 100 companies in the pharmaceutical/biotechnology, medical device and food sectors. Transferable skills such as project management, data handling and analysis, statistics and IT skills are in high demand based on the response from 70% of the companies surveyed. Of the transferable skills listed, the skills most commonly required by the companies (84%) required training in the area of data handling and analysis. Recognising this demand, the Certificate in Statistics and Data Analysis was devised to provide advanced level training and address this skills deficit. Show less
