This course has four modules:

Developing a question worth asking
Choosing an appropriate study design
Developing the methods for your study
Management and ethics of your research study

Each module will take between three and seven hours to complete. Module 2 is the longest because it explores all types of study designs. Feel free to tailor your learning to your own needs and focus on the study designs you are most interested in. The modules are accessible at any time, so you can complete them at your own pace and at a time that suits you.

At the end of each module, you’ll be invited to complete a short quiz to test your new knowledge. You may attempt each quiz as many times as you like. The attempt with the highest score will contribute to your final performance result.
