Classroom training FAQ

  1. What is the course schedule and format?
    All Stata classroom training courses begin at 8:30 AM and run to approximately 4:30 PM each day with a one-hour break for lunch. We provide a continental breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack. Breakfast is available before the course begins, and lunch is served between 11:45 and noon.

    Stata classroom training is designed to be interactive, so we provide computers with Stata installed at all sessions.
