Overview
Decoded provides digital and data literacy training for leaders, employees, and early career professionals worldwide. Its hands-on, short-form courses use gamified learning and real-world data tasks, such as testing data decisions with machine learning models or building smart contracts, to build practical skills. In the UK, many skill products are delivered as apprenticeships funded by the Apprenticeship Levy, combining mentorship, classroom instruction, and online study. The company aims to upskill and reskill workers to meet the demands of the digital age, helping data users and technologists master advanced analytics and data engineering.
