Master the Art of TLF Reporting: Boost Your Clinical Research Career with Encode-IT

TLF (Tables, Listings, and Figures) reporting is a fundamental skill in clinical research, enabling the
presentation of complex data in a clear and interpretable format. It plays a crucial role in
transforming raw clinical trial data into meaningful insights, which are then used for regulatory
submissions, scientific publications, and decision-making. The ability to create accurate and
standardized TLF reports is essential for professionals working in clinical trials, biostatistics, and data
management.
The TLF Course at Encode-IT is designed to provide you with hands-on experience in creating TLFs
using industry-standard tools and methodologies. You will learn how to efficiently create tables,
listings, and figures that summarize clinical trial results, ensuring that they comply with regulatory
standards such as CDISC, SDTM, and ADaM. This course is ideal for clinical data managers,
biostatisticians, SAS programmers, and anyone involved in clinical research who seeks to enhance
their expertise in TLF reporting.

By the end of this course, you will have the ability to generate precise and comprehensive TLF
reports that communicate clinical trial data clearly to stakeholders, researchers, and regulatory
bodies.

Salary Prospects in India:
In India, professionals skilled in TLF reporting are in high demand, especially in the pharmaceutical,
biotechnology, and contract research organization (CRO) sectors. A typical salary for individuals
skilled in TLF reporting ranges from ₹6 to ₹15 lakhs per annum, depending on experience, role, and
