Observations and listening skills
Key attitudes for interviewers

For organisations who wish to provide a route for interviewers to gain accreditation through a recognised MRS professional qualification, all interviewers who complete the MRS in-company interviewer training course are eligible to gain the MRS Certificate in Interviewing Skills for Market & Social Research.
