What do we teach?

Through a combination of live instruction, supported study with independent work, unit projects (individual and team-based) and 1:1 support, we teach our learners how to turn messy real-world datasets into actionable, data-driven insights they can communicate. We will be using Excel, SQL, Tableau, and PowerBI as the primary tools for analysis as well as provide learners with a foundation in Python programming to build predictive machine learning models.

The Data Analytics Bootcamp consists of nine units:

•  Unit 1: Responsible data analytics
• Unit 2: Statistics and mathematics for data analysts
• Unit 3: Data analysis and interpretation with Excel and Power BI
• Unit 4: Data acquisition and cleaning with SQL
• Unit 5: Data analysis and communication with Tableau 
• Unit 6: Data analysis with Python
• Unit 7: Data in the organization
• Unit 8: Capstone projects
• Unit 9: Career planning

Learning is assessed through four major projects (two independent projects, a team/group data sprint, and final course capstone) as well as nine labs. About 20% of the overall class time is dedicated to supporting learners’ project work.
