About This Course
This Data Analytics Course is designed to help you understand the complete analytics workflow – from collecting and cleaning data, to analysing it and presenting insights for business decisions. You start with the basics of spreadsheets, statistics, SQL and Python / R, and progressively move into visualisation and machine learning.
The course is highly practical, with labs, case studies and project work. You will work with real‑world datasets, build dashboards, run analyses and explain your findings in a clear, business‑friendly way. By the end, you’ll be ready for entry‑level data analytics, BI and reporting roles, or to strengthen your profile in your current job.
