Aim
To introduce you to some top tips, tools and resources to help you design and run surveys.
Content
Surveys are a great way to hear from lots of people quickly and cost-effectively. Information is usually collected via a questionnaire, which can be distributed electronically, on paper, or even via an interview. Perhaps the best-known survey is the Census. There are many types of survey. Which one you choose will depend on your purpose, the timescale for collecting the results, and the resources available. Our training course gives practical advice and guidance to help you prepare, produce and design surveys and analyse the resulting data.
Learning outcomes
By the end of the course, you will understand:
- survey design
- the most common sampling techniques
- how to construct survey questions
- how to pilot and run a survey
- how to analyse and present the results.
Who the course is for?
This course is for voluntary sector staff or volunteers who are interested in learning more about survey design and analysis. The course is intentionally ‘basic’ in its approach and content, and is aimed at beginners. No previous knowledge of survey design or analysis is required.
