I have been a MAXQDA trainer since 2007, first at the University of Witten/Herdecke (Germany), then at the University of Vienna (Austria) as well as a trainer athlete the Zurich University of Applied Sciences ZHAW and in the PhD Care and Rehabilitation Sciences Program at the University of Zurich for Mixed Methods Study. I have conducted a large number of Studies with MAXQDA and know the strengths, possibilities and limitations of software-based qualitative data analysis.
