Survey System Training Workshops
The Survey System is a user-friendly product that requires very little training. Our users spontaneously mentioned "Ease of Use" when asked what they liked most about The Survey System in our most recent survey. The average user can produce attractive tables and charts within a couple of hours of installation. However, some of our clients find in-person Survey System training workshops to be the fastest way to become a power user and get full value from the wide variety of features in The Survey System.
We offer three-day Survey System training workshops annually.
We offer both onsite training at client locations and an annual general three-day Survey System workshop near our location in Petaluma, CA. We have not yet scheduled the general 2009 workshop.
Onsite training runs one or two days, since it is tailored to the specific needs of the client. The three days of the annual workshop cover the following topics:
Day 1 is intended primarily for newcomers and assumes no prior knowledge of The Survey System, although experienced users always gain some useful tips. This day will cover the scope of The Survey System, setting up a survey, entering data and producing reports. After Day 1, participants will be able to set up and run basic surveys.
Day 2 will take users through advanced features, additional modules and other topics. Beginners who attend Day 1 will be able to continue through Days 2 and 3.
Day 3 will cover Interviewing, Sample Management, Voice Capture, Internet Surveys and Reports and PDA Surveys.
The Survey System training workshops will include hands-on training with real-life examples and will take place in a fully-equipped computer classroom. The workshop will be led by Dr. Hank Zucker, creator of The Survey System, and Bill Eaton, V.P. Marketing of CRS.
