Aim 

To introduce you to some top tips, tools and resources to help you present data effectively – in tables, charts, maps and text.

Content

We are bombarded with data on a daily basis; on our televisions, smartphones, computers, radios, in newspapers, on billboards, posters, and signs, from the media, commentators, our colleagues and our friends.

To make sure your messages are easily understood and attract attention, you must present them clearly and accurately. Our training course gives practical advice and guidance to help you present your data effectively, and to make sure that your audience understands the intended messages quickly and easily.

Learning outcomes  

By the end of the course you will understand:

  • the principles that underpin good data presentation
  • the most common ways of presenting data – the good and the bad
  • how you can present data to different audiences to create the highest impact.

Who the course is for? 

This course is for voluntary sector staff or volunteers who are interested in learning more about presenting data effectively. The course is intentionally ‘basic’ in its approach and content, and is aimed at beginners. No previous knowledge of data or statistics is required.
