I had the pleasure of working with Sid in connection with setting a pass score for a specialized certification exam in a unique compliance field. Before this experience, I was completely unaware of the psychometrics field. Sid was an incredible facilitator for the score exercise — a friendly, clear communicator and most of all knowledgeable. I learned so much working with him and would welcome the opportunity to do so again!

Sid was key in training staff and volunteers in competency based assessment. He continues to assist CAIRP in implementing continuous improvements on the development its National Insolvency Exam and in criteria-setting. I would recommend Sid very highly to any organization using assessments.

Sid was great to work with and very knowledgeable and professional!

Sid is knowledgeable and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend him.

Sid, Thank you so much for your help with the Renaissance Survey. We absolutely love the final product! You did an amazing job of compiling the data into a report that was clear, concise and visually appealing.

Sid provides significant insight into the work the HGGE task group is performing. His experience in the performance of testing and assessments is a guiding beacon allowing the task group to arrive with robust recommendations. I look forward to working with Sid on other projects in the future.

Dr. Ali from Research and Evaluation Consulting helped us not only consolidate our 18 year data base into a coherent system but allowed us to reflect on our use of data as well as how our data informs our ongoing strategy and research. We are immensely grateful for Sid’s work with us. His client responsiveness and customization of expertise to meet our needs is a terrific example of the value of Research and Evaluation Consulting.

Sid conducted an external evaluation for CONNECT Strategic Alliances, one of my clients on an immigration-related project. His collaborative approach, thoroughness and honest feedback was much appreciated. Of particular note for us – the literature review was fantastic. With a strong understanding of evaluation and excellent listening skills, Sid provided us with superior service. I’ve worked with many evaluators in the academia/ non-profit field in the Toronto area and highly recommend Sid’s work.

Sid managed and analyzed a large, complex database, making sense of the information. His report was on time and written in clear, concise language and his findings easily understood. He presented an overview of his report at our department meeting and his conclusions helped guide our unit’s decision-making moving forward with our project. I would not hesitate to re-engage Sid for future opportunities, and would recommend him to any seeking his expertise.

The committee that worked with Dr. Sid Ali found his work to be both helpful and insightful. His review and summary to our Board of Directors helped inform our decision-making and assured us that offering Junior Achievement programs to younger students could indeed provide useful and impactful information to students below grade 7 in age. Dr. Ali was pleasant to work with and provided a final summary of the work that we have referred to since completing the committee work.

It was a pleasure to have worked with Dr. Sid Ali on the ‘Challenges’ evaluation over the past seven months.

Dr. Ali was able to properly decipher what I needed and create a research project that provided our organization with key information needed to make good sound business decisions. His research was presented clearly, professionally and without jargon. I’m thankful to the person who referred his services to us and, in turn, recommend him to others.
