• Fillable boxes sized for real answers
• The output it produces
• A supervisor sign-off line
• Where to find the completed example in the workbook

How to use it

• Open the PDF in a free PDF reader app that supports fillable forms (Adobe Acrobat Reader is free and works best). Some phone and browser viewers do not save typed answers.
• Click a box and type. Save often: your answers stay in the file.

The kit and the workbook

The kit gives you the tools. The Qualitative Coding Workbook teaches the method: it explains every template and shows a completed example of each one. If this is your first time, start with the workbook.
