Why join us?

We're experts at what we do – we've been teaching research and data analysis for 25 years. Our students love our down to earth approach, and the numerous practical tips we share in sessions. Our aim is to leave you feeling inspired, motivated and well-equipped with the skills you need to move your research forward. But don't take our word for it, read what other researchers say about our content.

This was a great opportunity. It has been the ability to go back over the information (especially in those areas that were especially relevant, or where I found it tricky) that has been exceptionally useful to me. As I am more at the start of my PhD journey, I am feeling so much more confident about the use of NVivo as well as a better understanding of some of the qualitative and quantitative approaches.

Joanne van Wyk

PhD Candidate, Massey University

The Live Q&A sessions were the perfect blend of providing clear answers and suggestions on what to watch next, either as a refresher or advancement. With the impressive range of content, it was clear that Lyn knew the courses inside out and let her knowledge of both the content and how to apply it to different research contexts shine through. I always left the Q&A sessions energised, focused, and ready to take on the next task.

Yvonne Wood

SFHEA, Auckland University of Technology

The format of the videos was good – they were presented in small chunks with titles which made the watching easier. I found Lyn's talk very easy to follow and with the right tone and pace, very easy to listen to. I had attended few of her trainings beforehand which were also covered as part of Research Accelerator and I still watched them. I would recommend Research Accelerator for anyone – experienced or not experienced.

Albert Kuruvila

Lecturer, James Cook University

Great coverage of material, well packaged and structured pieces of training. The presenter was across all types of research and an experienced researcher who talked effortlessly to many points. A clear speaker with an easy tone – there were very few ums, ahs and mis-cues, which greatly added to the ease of listening. I thought it reflected the experience of the presenter and her desire to provide a well finished product – which it was.

Lily Engelbrech

PhD Candidate, Victoria University of Wellington

Research Accelerator provides an excellent introduction to NVivo for novices and is a great opportunity for others to refresh and upgrade their NVivo skill set. The videos were great and I am glad they were split into smaller chunks. Lyn is very organized and extremely knowledgeable about NVivo. She has a knack for simplifying complex features into simple bites with handy manuals for reference.
