Testimonials
“The 3months STATA training course was very impacting. I enjoyed how the trainers took their time to explain the details during each session. The weekly take-home assignments also encouraged personal assessment of one's level of understanding. The provision of all lecture materials is appreciated."
“The STATA training was hands-on and all participants were allowed to ask questions at any time during the training sessions. The trainers showed high level of academic and industry experience in statistics and econometrics. A virtual training made it possible for people from countries outside Nigeria to participate.”
“It was a great and awesome experience given that it was my first time I was introduced to R. I totally enjoyed the training even though I had the challenge of time differences and internet connectivity. I really appreciate the fact that PiLAF has availed the training materials to trainees.”
