Why SPSS videos don't stick
Watching someone else click through dialog boxes feels productive, then the menu path is gone by the time you open your own data. LearnSPSS shows you the real SPSS screens, explains every part, then makes you do each step yourself with instant feedback.
See it on screen
Annotated SPSS screens explain every menu, dialog box and output table in plain English. Tap a number to see what it does.
Do it yourself
Tap through the menu path, fill in the dialog choices and write the syntax until it becomes muscle memory.
Read the output
Pull the right number from Output Viewer tables, then write it up in APA style.

Online SPSS practice for students
SPSS for beginners
Never opened SPSS? Start with Data View and Variable View and levels of measurement. Each SPSS tutorial takes about five minutes, and you can't move on until you've actually got it right.
Practise without the software
Lessons show realistic SPSS menus, dialog boxes, syntax and Output Viewer tables, so you can practise SPSS on your phone, on the bus, or before you get lab access.
SPSS for psychology, nursing and business
Examples use the kinds of data you'll meet in coursework: questionnaires, Likert scales, before-and-after scores and group comparisons. Ideal for research methods modules and dissertation analysis.
From t-tests to regression
Learn how to run an independent-samples t-test in SPSS, a one-way ANOVA with post hoc tests, correlation and multiple regression, then report every result in APA 7 style.
Questions people ask
Is LearnSPSS free?
Yes. Try the first lesson straight away, then create a free account to save your progress. Unit 1 and the first lesson of Unit 2 are free. Pro unlocks every unit and unlimited hearts.
Do I need SPSS installed?
No. Lessons show realistic SPSS screens and simulate the menus, Data View, syntax and output tables in your browser, so you can practise on your phone.
Which version of SPSS does it match?
Menu paths and dialog boxes follow recent IBM SPSS Statistics releases. Where a menu was renamed between versions, the lesson tells you both names.
Will it help with my dissertation?
The course covers the tests most student projects use, from t-tests and ANOVA to correlation, regression, chi-square and non-parametric tests, and finishes with writing results in APA style.
Can I cancel my subscription?
Yes, anytime from your account page. You keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for.
Is LearnSPSS affiliated with IBM?
No. LearnSPSS is an independent learning platform. SPSS is a trademark of IBM.
