The Census and Survey Processing System (CSPro) is a public domain software package used by hundreds of organizations and tens of thousands of individuals for entering, editing, tabulating, and disseminating census and survey data. CSPro is designed to be as user-friendly as possible, yet powerful enough to handle the most complex applications. It can be used by a wide range of people, from non-technical staff assistants to senior demographers and programmers. CSPro supports data collection on android devices (phones and tablets). The CS Entry Android App works in collaboration with the desktop version of of CSPro. CSPro supports smart data transfer from Android or Windows devices to a server running CSWeb. This training is very practical consisting of demonstrations, practical exercises, and tests.
