NVivo Core Skills

This course covers the basics of NVivo, and is ideal for those who are new to the software. We’ll cover NVivo from start to finish, walking you though how to set up a project and work with data, including a variety of coding techniques. 

More advanced features such as queries, reporting and visualizations will also be briefly introduced.

• The NVivo project interface
• Creating and working with projects
• Preparing, importing, and working with data
• Creating and working with nodes (coding)
• Introduction to reporting functionality
• Demonstration of queries and visualisations

This introductory course will provide an overview of the software, and teach the basics of setting up and working in an NVivo project.

This course is suitable for researchers wanting an efficient means of handling and analysing their qualitative data, and for new and existing users. No prior knowledge of the software is assumed, however a basic understanding of qualitative analysis procedures would be helpful.

This workshop uses NVivo 14 and is designed for both PC and Mac users.
