Teaching national accounts - In-house, outside, and online

Abstract

The national statistical institution of Finland (Statistics Finland) not only collects, processes, and publishes data, but also bears the responsibility for advising and training users of the service it provides. There are various training possibilities available, and many are used for teaching national accounts. Statistics Finland has offered courses for data users, school visits, university courses, and material on Internet pages. International courses as well as internal training have been provided. Technological change brings new possibilities for training and we need to consider the best options for different situations. The feedback received from earlier training is important for development.
