At last after months of planning and preparation, we have combined with Kerry Bell of Bellmetrics to run a 2 day workshop on survey design, analysis and reporting! The workshop will be run in Toowoomba on the 19th and 20th of May 2009. Kerry is an experienced biometrician and has worked with Jeff Coutts over the years in evaluation.
Many evaluation projects have demanded their combined skills in designing surveys to satisfy information needs, planning the sampling process and analysing the results for reporting. Together they have run the 'Evaluation of Programs and Projects' Masters' course at University of Queensland Gatton of which surveys are a component.
Over the years they have seen a high level of need and demand for specific practical training in surveys - their design, sampling, analysis and reporting. This is important not only for those doing surveys - but for those who commission surveys. Both are committed to hands on 'adult learning' approaches so that people walk away with skills and confidence to use their learning. This is a course not to be missed - hope you can make it!
