Who are the courses aimed at?

Many organisations really don’t know what they are looking for as this is a specialist area and not suited to “o�-the-shelf” mass training programmes.

Often clients have a problem associated with the mass of data they gather and we design a package specifically for them to overcome the issues they are facing.

We work with everyone, from shop floor to boardroom and at all knowledge levels. Typical sessions would include group training for teams who must act on data collected, through to one on one training for senior directors preparing business plans and forecasts.

Whatever your statistical issue Lark can work with you to find the answer.
