A new learning opportunity
We like to think of SurveyCTO as a “goldilocks” data collection software solution, combining powerful functionality with user-friendliness. You don’t need to be a developer to learn how to program a SurveyCTO form, no matter how complex your workflow might be.
From sectors like international development and global health to monitoring & evaluation, supply chain management and other fields, SurveyCTO strives to empower changemakers to harness the full potential of their data.
We are thrilled to announce that after many months of hard work, we’ve taken a giant stride in user empowerment with the launch of SurveyCTO Academy, a new and improved online learning experience.
Building from our previous online courses—but taking it leaps and bounds forward—SurveyCTO Academy empowers both users and non-users alike to become not only proficient with the SurveyCTO platform, but also equips you with valuable, foundational skills needed for survey research, form-based data collection, and field operations.
Best of all, learners who complete our courses in SurveyCTO Academy earn a certificate that demonstrates platform proficiency, and can be shared with colleagues and on social media platforms.
What you can expect from SurveyCTO Academy
This new online learning experience will feature:
Interactive components that test your knowledge and let you know the estimated time required to complete a module as you progress.
A complete overview of managing your SurveyCTO account, from set up to navigating your server console to practical administrative tasks.

Customizable learning opportunities, meaning you can work with SurveyCTO to create a unique e-learning onboarding experience for your data collection team.
What I love about the SurveyCTO Academy is that it gives you timely, targeted training that’s available when you need it, empowering you to work more efficiently and confidently. Whether you’re setting up your first survey or managing a complex data collection workflow, we designed these courses to help you get the most out of SurveyCTO!
A learning experience built for you
SurveyCTO Academy was created in-house by our Enterprise Success Team. To create the Academy, Enterprise Success drew on their deep product expertise and background in creating user trainings as part of SurveyCTO’s Professional Services and Support.
To optimize user experience, our team designed the Academy to be adaptable to different types of users and levels of experience:
- Pass the final knowledge exam after going through the Academy and receive a certification to showcase your SurveyCTO proficiency
- Take individual courses as standalone micro-learning experiences and earn completion badges to keep track of progress
This design also means you can take courses at the pace that fits your schedule and lifestyle, whether you’re enrolled in just a few courses or working to earn the certification.
Custom hands-on training opportunities
Because of this built-in flexibility, we confidently recommend the Academy for any user, from those exploring our platform to experienced researchers who want to master specific skills or get even more out of SurveyCTO.
Next steps
Our goal is to make SurveyCTO Academy a resource that provides new ways for you to build your skills and get more from SurveyCTO’s powerful features–and now is a great time to get started! The SurveyCTO Academy is now live and open for enrollment—explore today and start learning!
