You Will Complete a Practical Data Project
A certificate alone does not demonstrate that someone can analyse data.
That is why this programme includes a practical project.
After the core training sessions on 15, 16 and 17 October, participants will apply what they have learnt to a guided Excel data analysis task.
On 19 October, participants will return for project guidance, review and preparation. This session will help participants strengthen their analysis and prepare to explain the decisions, methods and findings behind their work.
The programme concludes on 19 October 2026 with a Project Seminar Presentation.
Participants will present their work and communicate the insights they obtained from the data.
