The Census and Survey Processing System, often abbreviated as CSPro, is a tool for data collection that allows the researcher to enter, edit, tabulate, and disseminate data from censuses and surveys. Through of this course, the participants will learn the potential of the programs to streamline the creation of powerful and dynamic applications as well as various ways of automating data processing tasks, creating then Dependent Verification Designing CAPI apps in CSPro for Android, creating batch for message error, and creating advanced tables. Intermediate uses of the CSPro system will find this course most suitable.
