Statistics Workshops & Crash Courses for Groups
When a whole cohort, lab or team needs the same statistical skills, one-to-one tutoring is not the most efficient route. AskTheStatsProf workshops deliver professor-led, hands-on training designed around your group’s actual data, software and goals.
Every program is built from scratch for the people in the room. Participants do not just watch slides; they run analyses, interpret output and leave able to do it on their own.
Who Our Workshops Serve
- University departments and graduate schools: research methods intensives for incoming master’s and PhD cohorts
- Research groups and labs: standardizing analysis workflows across team members
- Companies: upskilling analysts, marketers, HR and operations teams in practical statistics
- NGOs and M&E teams: survey analysis and impact evaluation skills for program staff
- Student associations and study groups: exam-focused review sessions
Workshop Formats
Software Crash Courses (half-day to 2 days)

Topic Workshops (2–4 hours each)
Deep dives into a single method, combining concepts, software practice and reporting:
- Hypothesis Testing and p-values done right
- ANOVA and post-hoc testing
- Regression Analysis: from simple to multiple and logistic
- Structural Equation Modeling and CFA
- Survey design, reliability and factor analysis

Statistical Bootcamps (multi-week)
Structured programs that take participants from foundations to independent analysis over 4–8 weeks, with weekly live sessions, assignments using real data and a capstone project. Ideal for graduate cohorts before their dissertation year or analytics teams adopting a new toolset.
How We Build Your Program
- Needs assessment: A short call with the organizer and an optional pre-workshop skills survey for participants.
- Custom curriculum: Learning objectives, agenda and exercises tailored to your discipline, software and data (we can use your anonymized datasets).
- Delivery: Live, interactive online sessions with hands-on exercises and real-time Q&A.
- Materials: Participants keep slides, datasets, annotated code/syntax, cheat sheets and recordings.
- Follow-up: A post-workshop Q&A window and certificates of completion.
