The Psychometrics Centre offers online People Analytics Programmes, an online Business Analytics Programme, and bespoke training in Machine Learning and Big Data Analytics.
Online People Analytics Programme:
In the fast pace of globalised businesses, talent questions are key to strategy - getting the right person at the right place and time. Leaders need to have the means to quantify talent questions, and this demand (coupled with the growing availability of data) has resulted in many leading organisations creating People Analytics or Talent Analytics departments. Most major consultancies and emerging niche players have also begun offering People Analytics services.
Our 8-week online programme in People Analytics provides a comprehensive overview of the major topics in this field. The programme runs several times a year and combines pre-recorded faculty presentations with guest speaker interviews, live webinars, Q&A sessions, workbook assignments, quizzes and more to help support your learning journey. Peter Romero and Luning Sun are the programme faculty.

Small group seminars
In addition to our open enrolment online programmes, we have delivered in-person seminars informed by our people analytics research. Our 5-day academy courses get into the detail of the data science techniques involved in working with HR Information Systems data, whereas the 2-day strategic focus session invites executives to engage with the main strategic issues in a structured manner.

Training in Machine Learning and Big Data Analytics
Big data presents a number of challenges to an organisation, not least how to mine it for information and how to integrate this into existing administrative functions. For businesses that need to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving commercial environment, we run workshops on the essentials of statistical modelling and machine learning that form the basis of contemporary data science. These range from practical and hands-on training, where delegates learn to build their own Big Data tools, to more conceptual programmes on the strategic possibilities and challenges presented by these techniques.
We deliver customised practical courses to teach the fundamentals of data science, statistical and machine learning using the flexible R programming environment. These can be designed for data scientist-level or executive/managerial-level participants as required.
