Percontor provides online research methods workshops. Our topics cover three broad areas: Quantitative methods, advanced quantitative methods, and survey research methods. All of our online research methods workshops are offered in a highly engaging online environment. These are not webinars or taped lectures: up to 30 people will join us live online for each workshop; each participant is able to ask questions and interact with the instructor via two-way audio and video.
In addition to engaging in highly interactive workshops, participants receive copies of slides, statistical syntax, and datasets. We also record all of our sessions and make them available to participants after the session.
