Prerequisites This programme is intended for those with established experience in both NVivo and qualitative research.
Applicants should have a solid foundation in qualitative research. This may include a combination of formal study in qualitative analysis and/or a minimum of five years’ practical experience conducting qualitative research.
Participants are also expected to have strong working knowledge of the core components of NVivo and to have completed or substantially developed at least two projects in recent versions of NVivo (NVivo 13 (2020 R1) onwards) within the past six months.
This is not introductory training. It focuses on advanced use of NVivo and assesses how candidates apply the software within realistic research contexts. The certification assessment is delivered using NVivo 15 (current supported version). Experienced users working with recent supported versions (NVivo 13 or later) are welcome — please feel free to get in touch to discuss how this can work for you. Access to NVivo 15 is recommended.
