Data Analyst Learning Path

Data analysis is the process of examining, organising, and interpreting data to identify patterns, draw conclusions, and support decision-making. On this learning path, you’ll learn about the concepts of data science, statistics, data analytics, business analytics, Python and R programming, Tableau and more.

Excel as a Data Analyst with this learning path

On this course, delivered by our partners, Simplilearn, in collaboration with IBM, you’ll learn the skills to interpret data, create data visualisations, and build interactive dashboards. Also, discover how to perform regression analysis and clustering techniques for data analytics.

Learning objectives

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

Understand key statistical concepts, including central tendency, correlation, and regression
Learn SQL basics and execute commands using query tools
Write Python programmes with variables, loops, functions, and conditions
Explore Python features like lists, sets, dictionaries, and classes
Work with data in Python using Pandas to read, process and save files
Perform data analytics with Python libraries

What you'll learn

The Data Analyst Learning Path equips you with the tools to transform raw data into meaningful insights. You’ll master statistical concepts such as central tendency, correlation, and regression, which are crucial for data interpretation, and gain hands-on experience working with data using Python libraries.

Introduction to Data Analytics

Begin your journey with an overview of the core principles and methodologies of data analytics. You’ll learn how to identify patterns, interpret data trends, and make data-driven decisions that add value to your organisation. This foundation will set you up for the more advanced tools and techniques explored later in this learning path, giving you the confidence to tackle real-analytics challenges.

Business Analytics with Excel

Master the art of business analytics using Excel, one of the most versatile tools for data professionals. You’ll gain proficiency in creating dashboards, performing statistical analysis, and using advanced functions like pivot tables and data visualisation features. These skills will enable you to analyse and present insights effectively for informed decision-making.

Data Analytics with Python

Unlock the power of Python to process, analyse, and visualise data efficiently. You’ll learn to work with Python libraries such as Pandas, NumPy, and Matplotlib, developing skills to clean datasets, manipulate data structures, and generate compelling visual reports. This practical knowledge will prepare you to handle large datasets and extract meaningful insights.

Tableau training

Bring your data to life with Tableau, a leading tool for interactive data visualization. Through hands-on training, you’ll learn to design dynamic dashboards, create advanced visualisations, and connect data from multiple sources. This training ensures you can present complex data in a clear, engaging, and actionable way for diverse stakeholders.
