Live Online Mobile Data Collection and Management Using CommCare Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 2, 2026 · from USD 800
Community health workers and field teams increasingly rely on CommCare to register clients, track visits and get decision support on a phone, which makes good application design critical to service quality. You begin with CommCare HQ configuration, project spaces, mobile workers, user roles and organization locations. Form development sessions use the form builder to create question logic, validation, calculations, lookup tables and multimedia, with attention to speed and usability for frontline staff who work under pressure.
Case management is the heart of the week, covering case types, properties, child cases, case lists and details, follow-up schedules and automatic case updates through rules. Reporting sessions show how to use built-in reports, exports, data dictionaries and dashboards, and how to feed data to Power BI or Tableau. Advanced days handle application release management, testing, multi-site rollout, data security, APIs and integration with systems such as DHIS2. Digital health officers, M&E staff, programme managers and app builders at NGOs and health ministries who already know the basics will benefit. Afterwards you can design, deploy and maintain longitudinal CommCare applications at scale and support the teams who rely on them every day.

About this course
This course develops advanced capabilities in mobile data collection, digital workflow management, reporting automation, and information management using CommCare. Participants explore practical tools, implementation strategies, and data management frameworks that improve operational visibility and reporting performance. Furthermore, the program supports the shift from paper-based processes to scalable digital systems that enhance efficiency, accuracy, and organizational responsiveness.
Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from technology organizations, digital transformation programmes, data-driven enterprises, and public sector IT environments, examining how mobile data collection and management using CommCare is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down. Delegates will develop practical skill in designing appropriate frameworks, selecting and applying the right tools for case management and workflow automation, interpreting findings, and communicating conclusions clearly to colleagues, management and external stakeholders. Sessions move deliberately from principles to application, so that each technique introduced is practised against a realistic problem before the programme moves on — strengthening both individual effectiveness and the wider capability of the organizations delegates return to.
