Successful Data Analysis for Modern Industries
See how data analyst skills can be adapted and applied to any organisation
While the fundamental skills of data analysis contain common patterns across every organisation and industry, there are specific considerations for different work situations.
On this three-week course, you’ll get valuable exposure to and practice with data analyst work across various contexts.
By the end, you’ll be ready to take on different types of data analysis techniques, and will know what type of data analyst role suits you best.
Move from basic to applied data analysis
The course will equip you with the skills to work with various types of data, adapting different analysis techniques to suit unique scenarios.
You’ll see how basic data analysis can be edited and changed to apply to social good, healthcare, business, education, or whichever industry your organisation is in.
See where a data analyst role can take you
Analysing data types leads to actionable insight, as you’ll discover through this training. It makes sense that analysis is therefore highly in demand, and that data analysts are considered essential in almost every industry.
As well as reviewing the work that data analysts do in business, healthcare, and other sectors, you’ll learn about the career paths that are available to analysts now and the paths that may become available in the future.
