Last updated October 29, 2026 5 Days Expert Instructors Certificate Included Online & In-Person ## Course Overview This course is designed to provide participants with a practical and comprehensive understanding of infectious disease modelling and its application in public health decision-making. The programme equips participants with the knowledge and analytical skills required to understand disease transmission dynamics, predict outbreak trends, evaluate intervention strategies, and support evidence-based policy development. Participants will explore the principles of epidemiological modelling, disease transmission models, surveillance data analysis, forecasting techniques, statistical and mathematical modelling approaches, spatial epidemiology, and the use of modelling software to inform preparedness and response. The course also examines uncertainty analysis, model validation, health data interpretation, and ethical considerations in disease modelling. Through practical demonstrations, real-world case studies, hands-on modelling exercises, and group discussions, participants will strengthen their capacity to interpret modelling outputs, communicate findings to decision-makers, and support effective planning for infectious disease prevention, control, and emergency response. **Share this course:** [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftrustgatecorporateskills.com%2Fcourses%2Fexecutive-programme-in-epidemiology-and-disease-surveillance) [Twitter](https://x.com/intent/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftrustgatecorporateskills.com%2Fcourses%2Fexecutive-programme-in-epidemiology-and-disease-surveillance&text=Infectious+Disease+Modeling+Course) [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftrustgatecorporateskills.com%2Fcourses%2Fexecutive-programme-in-epidemiology-and-disease-surveillance&title=Infectious+Disease+Modeling+Course) [WhatsApp](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=Infectious+Disease+Modeling+Course%20https%3A%2F%2Ftrustgatecorporateskills.com%2Fcourses%2Fexecutive-programme-in-epidemiology-and-disease-surveillance) ## Learning Objectives - Understand the principles of infectious disease modelling. - Explain disease transmission dynamics and epidemiological concepts. - Apply deterministic and stochastic disease models. - Analyze surveillance and epidemiological datasets. - Forecast disease outbreaks using modelling techniques. - Evaluate the impact of public health interventions. - Interpret modelling outputs for decision-making. - Understand uncertainty, sensitivity analysis, and model validation. - Utilize digital tools and software for infectious disease modelling. - Strengthen evidence-based planning for outbreak preparedness and response ## Course Content ### Module 1: Foundations of Infectious Disease Modelling 1.
