Questionnaire Pretesting/Piloting Courses
These courses introduce the broad range of
techniques currently available (both traditional and
innovative) to test and improve survey questions, both for
self-completion and interview surveys. These courses do not
cover the testing of standardised multi-item scales as that
is covered in the Multi-Item Scale Development
course.
