What participants say

“I have always wanted to become an excellent migration policy analyst, and I knew understanding data was the missing piece. This course helped me connect data analysis with policy and governance. I can now independently explore findings, identify patterns and contribute more meaningfully to evidence-based migration policy discussions.”
Osato Mary
Lawyer & Migration Policy Analyst
“Having worked in data management for about 10 years, I discovered that there were things I had been doing without fully understanding why. This course gave me a clearer understanding of inferential statistics. I also learned valuable teaching techniques, particularly the importance of engaging students and respecting their time.”
Akande Yusuf
Data Manager & Researcher
“Before this course, I knew what data was but didn’t understand data analysis or how relevant it was to my work. I now see how it can help me organise information, interpret findings, track the impact of my interventions, improve my programmes and make better decisions in mental health and adolescent counselling.”
Eunice Chinedu-Nwigwe
Mental Health Educator
“I particularly appreciate the teaching method and the respect shown to every participant. I know I still have more to learn, but I now have the confidence and foundation to keep practising.”

What organisations say

“CESAR’s facilitators delivered the course using a structured blend of presentations, practical exercises, discussion sessions and shared experiences. By the end of the training, participants were able to produce and interpret basic and intermediate descriptive and bivariate inferential statistics using R. Participants expressed great satisfaction with the quality of facilitation, the skills gained and the relevance of the course content.”
World Health Organization & Rwanda Biomedical Centre
Rwanda
“The impact of the training has been evidenced by increased knowledge and skills among participants to analyse and use data for evidence-based decision-making using STATA. CESAR facilitators are highly skilled and knowledgeable and can deliver the course content as designed. Most interestingly, the course was more practical, and the country data sets were used, and this interests most participants as the course was modified to suit the country context.”
Morongoe Nyakane Nkoko
Ministry of Health, Lesotho
“From 30 January to 3 February 2023, two of JET’s staff attended the Stata Data Cleaning and Management training course conducted by CESAR. Since this training, the two JET staff are more efficient, and therefore, much faster in terms of data cleaning and management. I can highly recommend the CESAR Data Cleaning and Management course, and because of the impact that the training has had, JET intends to send staff members on the Comprehensive Data Analysis Course using Stata.”
Jennifer Shindler
JET Education Services, South Africa
“CESAR’s facilitators used a combination of different training methodologies, including PowerPoint presentations, practical exercises, discussion sessions and shared experiences to deliver the course. At the end of the course, participants understood M&E frameworks and methods, they could design programme indicators, and had an understanding of how to analyse M&E data. Participants who attended the course expressed great satisfaction with the quality of facilitators, skills gained and course content.”
Reuben Banda
Musika, Zambia
“Not only were CESAR facilitators knowledgeable of the content they delivered, but CESAR and the instructors were highly adaptable: CESAR collaborated with Social Impact to modify the course content to suit the job-specific needs and interests of the participants. We would recommend CESAR’s Data Cleaning and Management in Stata course to other organizations looking to build their employees’ skills in Stata.”
Alison Smith
Social Impact, United States
“The instructors from CESAR have been very professional and the service provided was excellent quality tailored to our staff need and capacity. Most of the trainees, after the training, were able to apply the acquired skills on their duties, which include health-related data management, interpretation of data and reporting.”
Dr. Eshetu Worku
Northern Cape Department of Health, South Africa
“The course facilitator used a combination method during the offering (presentations, group work, practical class work), which gave an in-depth understanding of the course. All participants spoke highly of how the course was offered. A job well done to CESAR, and we would recommend them to other organisations and companies in the quest to build employees' skills and knowledge.”
Palesa Mokooane
Soul City Institute, South Africa
“The course was fully hands-on with practicals, presentations and rigorous feedback sessions. The course equipped members with basic, intermediate descriptive statistics and inferential statistics using STATA. Participants of the course were pleased with the calibre of the facilitators, the training and the course material. We highly recommend CESAR as a reputable service provider for STATA training.”
Dr Aluwani Tagwi
University of South Africa
“Participants who attended the course expressed great satisfaction with the quality of facilitators, skills gained and course content. CESAR’s dedication to excellence and ability to tailor their content to suit our needs is one of the reasons we highly recommend them as service providers for training.”
