Training


We provide training in research skills and software to researchers of all experience levels. Our training will enable you to work smarter, and help you produce an outstanding piece of research that will impress your examiners and peer reviewers. Courses are taught by experienced researchers – we don’t just teach research, we’re actively engaged in the process ourselves and understand the challenges involved.

We’re also happy to run any of our courses specifically for your organisation/research team or can arrange an appointment with you to take you through the content of a training course on an individual basis – contact us to discuss your requirements. We’d like to make it as easy as possible for you to upskill in the areas you need – just let us know what we can do to help!

Our 2023 training programme has finished for the year and information about our 2024 courses will be available early in the new year. If you have an urgent need for training, please access our online courses via Research Accelerator.

Any of our training courses can be run as a one-on-one session – this can be arranged at a time convenient to you, either face-to-face or online. Contact us to discuss this further. Alternatively, the majority of our training courses are offered on-demand as part of our Research Accelerator membership – this may be a more convenient way for you to learn the material.

Our face-to-face training is held in our Auckland CBD office – Level 2, Southern Cross Building, 59 High Street. The best car parking option is Victoria Street Car Park (immediately opposite our building), and Britomart is just a 10-minute walk away if you’re arriving by bus or train. Note that if you’ve enrolled in a face-to-face training course through your University, you will need to contact them directly for venue details.

Researchers at all stages of the research process, from novice researchers through to those with experience who need to learn a new skill for a specific project. Course attendees are from a wide range of disciplines, and while many of those we work with are from academic backgrounds, we also assist corporate and public sector researchers.

Absolutely! Any of our training courses can be customised to your research team, department, or postgraduate students. Whether you’re wanting a one-off course or a series of courses to increase the research capacity within your organisation, we’re more than happy to discuss your needs and recommend a suitable programme. Contact us for further information.
