Course: Qualitative Methods for Conservation

Qualitative Methods for Conservation – you’re chance to build the skills you need to use text-based research skills

This course is for you if you are delivering research which gathers text based data such as interviews, focus groups or open ended questionnaires.

You’ll develop skills to help you conduct, interpret and supervise qualitative research.

The course is delivered over five sessions and includes:

Research design – understanding your respondents, developing your questions and getting your foundations set

Data collection – conducting interviews, capturing data

Data analysis – collating your data, thematic analysis, an introduction to qualitative software

 

Qualitative Methods are rarely taught in conservation, so many professionals being asked to use them find themselves unsure of how to do so.

Join this course to make sure you have the knowledge to use qualitative methods well.

You’ll get:

taught content to learn principles

break out tasks to hone your qualitative research skills and

a supportive space to develop your ideas

 

After the course you get a mentoring call to keep you progressing.

 

The Qualitative Methods for Conservation course is running each day from Monday 23rd June to Friday 27th June from 10am to 3pm (BST).  The standard rate is £450 and reduced rate for students/NGO staff/unemployed is £385.

This is the last time the course will run in 2025 due to family needs which will reduce my working hours.
