Course Duration
Live sessions will be conducted for one week (17th - 21st Aug) which will cover lectures and hands-on sessions on MAXQDA. Practical exercises will be given to participants along with the hand outs for practice which they should be able to complete within three months. Participants must also practice with their own research projects during these three months during which they will be guided and doubt clearing will be done through online forum.
E Certificate & Study Material
All participants of our courses get an e-certificate of course completion along with Study material, Practice data sets, and Ready Reckoner files for quick revision.
Interactive Learning
Our online training courses are designed to be engaging and interactive. You'll have the opportunity to connect with the trainer, ask questions, and discuss problems during the live sessions conducted online. Our platform also includes interactive tools such as chat features.
Post Live Sessions Support
We're committed to your success. That's why we offer support and guidance throughout your research journey even after the live sessions are over. Whether you need help with a specific assignment or guidance on research skills, we're here to help through the EdMaestro Research Forum. Individual mentoring session can also be opted for on paid basis if required.
