We offer this program as instructor led with remote access to the curriculum and an online networks laboratory called NETLAB. There is a mix of lecture, demonstrations and a heavy emphasis on practical activities using live lab equipment and a simulation package. Further details and pricing information are available. This is the second module of four modules in the CCNA programme. 1. Networking Fundamentals 2. LAN Switching and Wireless 3. Routing Protocols and Concepts 4. Accessing the WAN
	Excel 2007 (Spreadsheet Package): Introduction Finished 09:30 - 13:00 Phoenix Teaching Room Microsoft Excel is the chosen spreadsheet package as it is a popular choice, both on Macintosh and PC.
14:15	Python: Introduction for Absolute Beginners (1 of 3) Finished 14:15 - 17:00 Phoenix Teaching Room This course is part of the Scientific Computing series. This course is aimed at those new to programming and provides an introduction to programming using Python, focussing on scientific programming. This course is probably unsuitable for those with significant programming experience. By the end of this course, attendees should be able to write simple Python programs and to understand more complex Python programs written by others. As this course is part of the Scientific Computing series, the examples chosen are of most relevance to scientific programming.

The first session looks at an overview of the Stata system and getting data into Stata format and the second looks at reporting, graphing and analyses. It is strongly recommended for anyone likely to use Stata for any but the very simplest analysis of the very simplest data.
10:30	PowerPoint 2007 for Beginners: Quick Start (self-paced) Finished 10:30 - 12:30 Titan Teaching Room 2 This self-paced hands-on course gives a "quick start" introduction to Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 which is widely used software for preparing presentations.

14:15	R: Regression Analysis in R (1 of 2) Finished 14:15 - 17:00 Balfour Macintosh Room This course is for new users who have learnt how to get data into R already, and know how to operate basic syntax. Emphasis will be on examples of running applied analyses of regression models for continuous, binary and ordinal outcomes using standard R procedures. Half a dozen libraries will be introduced that enables importing of data and running of linear, binary, ordinal and nominal outcome regression models in R.
	Web Skills for Researchers: Why Not to Google Finished 14:15 - 15:15 Cockcroft Lecture Theatre Google is unarguably the world's most used search engine - but how good is it for academic research?
