Janis, Qualitative Software training is not an enterprise enough in its own right for us to find resources throughout the country. Many companies, like mine (ResearchTalk), provide distance consultation. Some companies specialize in one package, like Woolf Consultation in Santa Barbara (www.learnatlas.com ). ResearchTalk offers qualitative software skills integration sessions as part of a larger service offering in qualitative research consultation. It is important for you to ensure that the approach and direction of a company you choose matches your needs. Hope this helps, Ray Raymond C.

Having completed this, I know have a question to ask. Does anyone know of any CAQDAS training companies in California or close to California. I thought that I read about one in San Francisco, or close to it.. Janis
