NetCourses
What is a NetCourse®?
NetCourses are designed to help you learn Stata in web-based training course. Scheduled courses run for six to seven weeks with weekly lessons, it will take roughly 5 hours per week (varies by course). Stata NetCourses are not conducted in real time, so you are not required to be online participating at any specific time. You can ask course leaders questions and communicate with other NetCourse participants using the course discussion board.

This course is intended for Stata users who wish to learn about key programming topics such as macro processing, program flow of control, using ado-files, programming ado-files, Monte-Carlo simulation and bootstrapped standard errors.
Become an expert in organizing your work in Stata. Make the most of Stata’s scripting language to improve your workflow and create concretely reproducible analyses. Learn how branching, looping, flow of control, and accessing saved estimation results can speed up your work and lead to more complete analyses. Learn about bootstrapping and Monte Carlo simulations, too.

An advanced, seven-week course that teaches how to add new commands to Stata, for those who understand the basics of Stata programming.
This course covers advanced issues of programming in the Stata language focusing on writing commands for general use.
Learn how to create and debug your own commands that are indistinguishable from the commands in Stata. You will be able to parse both standard and nonstandard Stata syntax using the intuitive syntax command, to manage and process saved results, to post your own saved results, to process by-groups, to create data management commands, to program your own maximum-likelihood estimator, and more. In short, learn to create commands that act just like the commands that ship with Stata.
