We conducted a web questionnaire survey to determine the need for training courses for institutional research in FY2021 and conducted individual surveys in FY2022. It was found that there is a need for step-by-step training sessions based on the abilities of the participants of these training courses. Moreover, we conducted an additional training course to determine the essential training for institutional research and the self-perceptions of the participants in FY2023. This paper reports on the background to the survey conducted at this additional training course and the results of the questionnaire survey conducted at this training course.
