Our Services: Methods Training
Methods Training are offered at three levels:
- Introduction courses reduce the initial burden on researchers for orienting their team to the methods but does not qualify trainees to conduct the method without rigorous supervision.
- Basic skill courses prepare trainees to apply the methods being taught with some independence for routine processes and tasks.
- Advanced skill trainings prepare trainees with more nuanced understanding and practical application experiences so that they may be able to take on more complex or multi-faceted areas of the analysis. Advanced training is also useful for those that have used a method before but are a bit rusty.
Examples: Don’t see what you’re looking for? Just ask – we’ll be able to help or point you to someone who can.
