During this 8-day course you will acquire:

  • the ability to handle structured and unstructured data
  • insights in judging the quality of data
  • skills to perform analysis on data
  • skills to report the results in a visual matter

For whom?

This course is for business professionals who perform analyses of any form on data on a daily basis. The content is especially tailored to people who seek to get more from their data. A technical background or profound affinity is a prerequisite, since you will be learning a programming language and will be developing competences in advanced statistics.
