CERTIFICATE COURSE ON STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELLING [SEM WITH AMOS AND SMARTPLS]
This course teaches how to utilize AMOS (Analysis of Moment Structures) and SmartPLS (Smart Partial Least Squares) software for covariance-based and partial least squares in Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) in research. The workshop will cover selecting the appropriate SEM application(AMOS/SmartPLS) as well as and Explanatory Factor Analysis with SPSS software. All Sessions will be held via Zoom.
🚀 Certificate Course on Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with AMOS & SmartPLS🚀
Course Overview:
This comprehensive course will introduce you to Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and guide you through both Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analyses (EFA and CFA) using industry-standard tools: AMOS and SmartPLS. The course is designed to help you build a strong understanding of SEM, from basic concepts to advanced analysis techniques.
