Overview
This one-day course is flexibly structured to discuss common challenges of working with NVivo to enable you to move on with your analysis. It is designed for researchers who have previously attended an introductory training workshop in NVivo and have been using the software for a real project for some time.
The course is tailored to your specific needs which are identified through a pre-course questionnaire. You will refresh your straightforward uses of software tools and cover more sophisticated uses of these, as required. You will have the opportunity to work on your own NVivo projects during the day and there will be an opportunity for you to discuss this with the tutor.
