NVivo Training - online

The NVivo training workshops will take you through the various features of NVivo12 and will be conducted over 2 separate days. During the workshops, you will receive valuable hands-on experience in coding your data using NVivo12. The workshops will be facilitated by Dr Husna Razee. The NVIVO training will mainly focus on the Windows version of NVIVO. Most features are similar in Mac, but there are some differences. If you use a Mac Husna will try to accommodate you, but she is not well versed in the Mac version. .

Attendance to the session is ESSENTIAL.
