Intro to Data Analytics

CareerFoundry’s Intro to Data Analytics Course is designed as a short introduction to help learners get an overview of the field and help to understand if it’s the right career. In the Intro course, students explore the fundamentals of being a data analyst and will acquire in-demand professional skills through building a real-life project for their portfolio.

Learn to conduct a complete end-to-end analysis of a data set using an industry-standard tool. Students will start by exploring the ins and outs of what data is and how to prepare data sets for analysis before diving into a descriptive analysis. They will use analytical methods to draw insights from data, which they will then present using data visualization and storytelling techniques. By the end of the course, students have a complete case study to demonstrate their newly developed analytical skills to clients and employers.
