These one-day courses will empower you with the knowledge and skills to manipulate, analyse and summarise data.
Throughout the course, you will be gaining outstanding guidance and support by our senior consultants who will show you how you can use this tool.
This course will enable you to effectively navigate, interpret and evaluate the data provided to gain the highest possible knowledge from the data.

Cluster of Schools
Many schools request a whole day training, combining ASP Interactive training in the morning with FFT training or one of our other Training Courses in the afternoon.
Combining ASP Training with the NEW ASP Governor Training Course is also an excellent combination supporting schools Nationally to ensure school Governing Bodies understand their school ASP Summary Report, fulfil their Leadership and Management responsibilities and support School Evaluation and Improvement.
Alternatively, contact us by telephone/email to speak to one of our Senior School Improvement Consultants to discuss your school’s needs and options and request a Personalised School Improvement Training package.
