FAQs

Who suits the Professional Research and Evidence Analysis Training Course?

The course suits professionals who gather, assess, analyse, or present evidence for organisational decisions without needing advanced academic or statistical specialisation.

Does the course cover qualitative and quantitative methods?

Yes. It covers practical selection, collection, preparation, basic analysis, and synthesis of both qualitative and quantitative evidence.

How are unreliable sources handled?

Participants assess authority, relevance, currency, method, corroboration, bias, and limitations, then record inclusion or exclusion decisions in an evidence log.

What does evidence triangulation mean?

Evidence triangulation compares findings from different sources or methods to identify convergence, disagreement, missing information, and plausible alternative explanations.

What belongs in the Workplace Evidence Portfolio?

The portfolio contains the question canvas, evidence plan, ethics check, search log, collection tools, analysis tables, triangulation board, limitation register, visualisations, and research brief.

Conclusion

Participants take back a transparent workflow for moving from a workplace decision need to credible, traceable, and useful findings. The Workplace Evidence Portfolio helps teams select proportionate methods, challenge interpretations, communicate uncertainty, and connect evidence to action.
