Training Courses and Seminars

Special two-day training event

Employee engagement: Why does it matter and what can we do about it?
Duration: 2 Days

Dates

22 & 23 February 2012

27 & 28 March 2012

Fee: £600 + VAT

An introduction for HR professionals, Chief Executives and those with a requirement to understand the opportunities available from the effective measurement and management of employee engagement. This high impact interactive programme will help delegates establish a business case for treating Employee Engagement as a Key Performance Indicator, and plan the practical steps required to achieve the business transformation it offers.

Venue: London W1

Our regular events: How to manage Employee and Customer Satisfaction Surveys

Our main business is providing consultancy and bureau services to help clients conduct survey research but we recognise that some people prefer to be more independent, and that these people want to acquire some expertise of their own, rather than forever depend on ours. To meet this need, we have developed some one day training seminars. 

We offer the seminars either as public (open) courses or as in house events delivered on your premises. Each seminar stands alone if required, but taken together, they amount to a beginner's course in survey research. If the seminars do not meet your specific needs, we are pleased to adapt the content for an in-house seminar to meet your requirements.

Our courses are listed on CourseForMe

Developing, Authoring and Designing Survey Questionnaires 
Duration: 1 Day

Dates

9 March 2012

15 June 2012

14 September 2012

11 December 2012

Fee: £250 + VAT

An introduction for anyone responsible for conducting research by postal or web based self completion survey.

The day will equip delegates with the basic skills required to develop and design attractive and effective survey questionnaires. The day includes practical exercises throughout, and ends with a session during which delegates work on a project of their own. Delegates are encouraged to bring an example of a questionnaire to work on. It may be a draft for a planned survey, or a questionnaire which has been used in an area of interest to the delegate, and which they can adapt and improve in light of their learning during the day. We provide a draft questionnaire for anyone who hasn’t an example of their own.

Delegates need a good command of English, but no other knowledge or experience is required.

Venue: Roehampton, London SW15

Getting facts out of figures; A beginner's practical guide to statistics
Duration: 1 Day

Dates:

16 March 2012

22 June 2012

21 September 2012

18 December 2012

Fee: £250 + VAT

An introduction for anyone responsible for gathering, summarising, analysing, presenting or interpreting data (especially from surveys).

Following the day, delegates will be able to summarise data and detect differences between groups of informants or for the same group at different times. They will be able to assess and report the statistical significance (if any) of these differences. When looking at figures prepared by others, delegates will understand the distinction between a statistically significant difference and one which may be attributable to sampling error. The seminar assumes survey data as the raw material for analysis, but the principles are applicable to data drawn from other sources, including BVPIs, SAT results, etc


The day is illustrated throughout with on-screen worked examples, followed by practical exercises. Delegates receive a CD-ROM to take away and use, including an Excel workbook comprising all the worked examples and a set of easy-to-use practical tools for calculating confidence intervals, assessing required sample sizes, standard deviations, standard errors and standard errors and significance of differences.

It is an introduction to simple statistics, so although delegates should be comfortable with arithmetic, including decimals and percentages, no previous knowledge beyond this is required.

Venue: Roehampton, London SW15
Writing Plain English; effective writing for reports, letters, memos etc
Duration: 1 Day

Dates:

2 March 2012

This day is for anyone who wants to produce clear, succinct, accessible writing. It will provide a checklist of desirable and undesirable features and equip delegates with the skills to recognise them and make improvements where required.

The day includes practical exercises throughout, and ends with a session during which delegates can work on a text of their own. Delegates are encouraged to bring some of their own writing to work on. We provide texts for anyone who hasn’t an example of their own. Delegates need a reasonable command of English, but no other knowledge or experience is required.

Venue: Roehampton, London SW15
