De Staic Research offers individual tuition and tailored training for small groups of staff, online or in person. Sessions cover research methods, evaluation and research software, with examples suited to your project, sector and level of experience.
SPSS and NVivo tuition
Our one-to-one SPSS tuition covers preparing data, choosing analyses, interpreting output and reporting findings. NVivo tuition covers organising qualitative material, coding, exploring patterns and connecting software tasks with your analytical approach.
Individual support is available for undergraduate, master’s and doctoral students, researchers and professionals. Sessions can use your own suitably anonymised research materials where appropriate, helping you develop the understanding and skills to undertake and explain your own work.
Corporate training and small-group staff sessions
We deliver SPSS and NVivo training for small groups in corporations, healthcare organisations, universities, care providers and other organisations. Sessions are tailored to your team’s starting point, software version and practical research or analysis needs, with online or in-person delivery.
We agree learning objectives and suitable examples in advance. Training can focus on an introduction to the software, a particular stage of analysis or the tasks your team needs to carry out in an existing project.
Research methods, surveys and evaluation
Topics include research questions and study design; questionnaire development; SurveyMonkey and Qualtrics; sampling and recruitment; interviews and focus groups; quantitative and qualitative analysis; and communicating findings.
Evaluation training can cover theories of change, evaluation frameworks, process and outcome questions, and a realist approach to understanding what works, for whom and under what circumstances. Sessions connect methodological choices with the evidence and resources available.
Tuition and training can also cover qualitative analysis using ATLAS.ti and the planning and management of research projects.
AI in research and evaluation
Our AI training and consultancy explores practical uses across planning, data collection, analysis and reporting, alongside checking outputs, confidentiality, bias and transparent reporting. Sessions are available for individuals and staff teams.
