What this is
The working vocabulary, tools and habits of a business data analyst, from first question to first chart. The course is organized into 6 modules — what analytics is actually for, getting data you can trust, spreadsheets as a real analysis tool, measurement that holds up, turning analysis into a chart and delivering the answer — with 18 lessons in total, so you build the skill in a sensible order and can return to any part when you need it.
It does not make you a data scientist and does not award any certification. It builds the working vocabulary, tools and habits of a business analyst so you can answer real questions with data.
What you will be able to do
- Turn a business question into an analysis plan
- Get data you can trust and check its quality
- Use spreadsheets as a real analysis tool
