Questions & Answers 

1- Are the training programs pure theoretical?

Definitely not, we prepare you to be a top-notch econometrics trainer, training modules are designed to cover all theory, mathematical foundation and apply on real-data examples and simulations using the most common statistical software

2- What are the types of assessment exams after each modules?

The exams, in general, test your knowledge, understanding of taught methods, as well your eligibility to move forward to the succeeding module. The exams are prepared by the group moderator and are approved by the academic council. Exams can be in different forms, MCQs, simulation exercises, and equation solving questions. 

3- What if I achieved below 75% of the exam(s) mark or refused to take an exam?

Even if you achieved less than 75% of the mark, based on your answers, your personal evaluation report will define if you are eligible to move to the upcoming module or require a redo. After you successfully graduate from the program, your above-average accumulative marks will place you in a good position to recieve a job offer and join our team. In case you refused to take an exam or fail it (less than 50% of the mark), you will not recieve your certificate and will not join  to the next module.
