Programme structure & subjects (what you’ll learn)

This compact, practice-oriented certificate focuses on business use of data. Typical topics and activities include:

• Fundamentals of data analytics and the data lifecycle (collect → clean → analyse → visualise)

• Practical use of tools (Excel/Power BI/Tableau and basics of Python/R/SQL depending on the cohort)

• Data visualisation and storytelling for decision makers

• Introductory predictive analytics / basic machine learning concepts (business perspective)

• Small applied project or case study to build a portfolio piece
  Because BSBI markets the course as practical, expect labs, guided exercises and an applied final assessment. Request the factsheet for the exact module list and learning hours.
