a) What are the advantages of your virtual and in-person workshops?
Virtual:
Lower costs since expenses (transportation, lodging and food) are eliminated.
Greater flexibility in defining course schedules.
In-Person:
Greater and better face-to-face interaction with the group, especially in large groups.
Ability to review, study materials and situation dynamic that cannot be transferred through the Internet, such as extensive paper documents, laboratory equipment, etc.
b) What is the cost of the Courses?
The costs shown on our Website are standard. Customers with higher volume deals can obtain better prices and/or conditions.
The price is the same for any course: $48,707 (*) PER GROUP (not per person) for a 10-hour workshop. In the case of in-person workshops, add per diems of 2 consultants (instructor + coordinator).
For courses with a greater number of hours, request a quote, as the cost is not necessarily proportional.
Each attendee must provide their computer (for courses that require it)
For workshops outside our facilities, the client must provide adequate room for:
- Projector to connect the instructor’s Laptop (or to connect the PC that we would be controlling remotely).
- In the case of in-person workshops, add flipchart and canvas board.
c) How do you distribute the schedule for the Courses?
In 10-hour courses, we usually schedule 5 hours on Friday and 5 on Saturday to help minimize lodging costs for in-person cases. However, we are open to other schedules proposed by the client. In virtual courses, we offer more flexibility because there is no need to move.
d) What is the maximum class size for the Courses?
A) 8 attendees (**) for courses that require the use of the PC by the attendee
B) 20 attendees (**) for courses that do not require using a PC:
(**) These are our recommend limits. Since these are Workshops, each researcher can carry out their study, so we can thoroughly address workshop size in each case. When the group is large, the attention to each researcher can be greatly diluted, which we try to avoid since we are very careful about the quality of our service.
These limits can be modified in agreement with the contracting institution by evaluating each particular case.
e) At the end of a 10-hour course, will I be able to carry out all my analysis in the future?
This is not usual, and at the end of the workshop, each of the members would leave with their work finished or at least well advanced and with guidelines to follow (for cases that the study is in an initial phase). Additionally, during the course, the participant was observing, participating and understanding most of the analysis required by the work, which provides the tools to defend a future exposition of the study (whether in a jury, conference, article publication, etc.).
If the workshop member requested additional advice after the course, we would quote this particular case to provide very specific advice.
ADDITIONAL NOTE: Remember that a statistician (the person who performs the quantitative analyses) is usually a person who has:
1) A bachelor degree in math or similar (4-5 year duration, including about 30 math courses)
2) An M.Sc. degree in math, statistics or similar (2-3 year duration, including about 16 statistics courses)
3) A Ph.D. in math, statistics or similar (3 to 4 years duration)
This person works doing statistical analysis only, thus accumulating plenty of experience.
The Qualitative Consultant has a similar profile, with many years dedicated to the study and application of these techniques.
Please note that one or several 10-hour courses cannot replace the analytical capacity and vision of a consultant. However, it can provide the health researcher with the language needed to communicate results and understand the terminology used in many health research journals, which increasingly make intensive use of quantitative and qualitative techniques.
