Aim
To introduce you to some top tips, tools and resources to help you design and run a focus group.
The course is intentionally ‘basic’ in its approach and content, and is aimed at beginners. No previous knowledge of designing and running a focus group is required.
Content
Focus groups are often used to engage with a small group of citizens to understand how they feel about an issue, policy, product, or person. They usually involve six to eight participants being led through a discussion by one or two facilitators.
Our training course provides practical advice and guidance to help you understand why, how and when you might organise and run a focus group to support your work.
Outcomes
By the end of the course you will understand:
- what focus groups are, their purpose, and when to use them
- the key elements needed to design focus groups
- how to select participants and secure participation, including ways to engage hard-to-reach participants
- how to run a focus group.
