Qualitative research can be a solitary experience. But it doesn’t have to be.

We have two communities to complement the training. And neither requires you to have booked anything with us – you can join the communities alone..

Women in Qual

A free community for women (transgender and non-binary) researchers using qualitative methods, at every career stage and across all fields and sectors. Monthly virtual networking, free webinars and a newsletter. More than 900 members since launching in March 2026.

Qualitative Training Community

A space for participants taking the qualitative training courses, masterclasses and bootcamps to keep engaging, networking, and receive expert support between sessions. You can share what you’re working on, ask the difficult questions that come up at eleven at night, and get some company through the difficult challenges in your qualitative research or PhD study.
