Questionnaire Design Courses

Rubbish in, rubbish out – have you ever discovered too late that your survey questions did not deliver useful or useable data?

 

Courses Run for Current and Former Clients:

1-Day Course

Through looking at a wide range of pitfalls, this course explores ways to assess the effectiveness of existing questionnaires as well as how to write successful new ones.  It combines suggestions from the research literature on questionnaire design with a very practical approach.  Common errors in the wording of individual questions are examined as well as how to combine individual questions into a meaningful questionnaire.  Special features for interview versus self-completion surveys will also be discussed.
