Virtual Event, 25/04/2022 - 01/07/2022

The Asian Development Bank in partnership with FAO’s Regional Office in Asia and the Pacific offer two free online courses on computer assisted personal interviewing (CAPI). Registration is now open and enables access to the six-week basic courses beginning 25 April on either Survey Solutions or CSPro (or both), as well as a new course starting 23 May on Advanced CAPI using Survey Solutions.

The basic course will introduce learners to two free CAPI platforms being used by official data collection agencies: (i) CSPro Android developed by the US Census Bureau and (ii) Survey Solutions designed by the World Bank. Through interactive modules, learners will not only pick up the basics of CAPI data collection, management, but will also be able to develop their own questionnaires and apply these skills to a wide variety of surveys.

The new advanced course, also developed in partnership between ADB and FAO, will dig into CAPI using Survey Solutions.
