Live Online Mobile Data Collection and Management Using SurveyCTO Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Oct 26, 2026 · from USD 800
Paper questionnaires slow research down and let errors slip in that no amount of cleaning can fully fix. SurveyCTO lets teams catch problems at the point of collection, but only when forms and workflows are designed with care. You begin by planning a digital collection system, from server setup and user roles to device management and data security. Survey design sessions use XLSForm to build skip logic, constraints, calculations, repeat groups, cascading selects, pre-loaded data and multilingual forms for complex household and facility surveys.
Quality assurance covers form testing, audio audits, sensor metadata, back-checks, encryption and data monitoring workflows that flag issues while enumerators are still in the field. You will then export data to Stata, R or Excel and connect results to dashboards through the platform's integration options. Enterprise topics include managing multiple teams, form version control and keeping large survey rounds running smoothly. Researchers, M&E officers, survey managers, field coordinators and data managers in NGOs, research firms and statistics units will use these skills straight away. You leave able to deploy a production-ready survey and run quality monitoring from the first interview through to a clean final dataset.
