About the Data Analytics Certificate Program
The Data Analytics Certificate is an immersive learning experience that equips you with the data analytics knowledge to be a business leader and apply your technical skills in the real world. Data Analysts help leaders make informed, data-driven decisions to drive the company forward, improve efficiency, increase profits, and achieve organizational goals.
As organizations become more tech-driven, collect more data, and rely on that data for decision-making, it's becoming increasingly crucial for accounting and finance professionals to keep up with these changes. So we developed our Data Analyst Certificate as a comprehensive five-part course that provides training and practical guidance on data analytics. We cover everything from basic concepts to advanced techniques in this comprehensive curriculum. This course is designed to learn at your own pace (no live classes required) and work on certification testing at your convenience right from your home or office.
Why?
The Data Analyst Certificates bundle is a comprehensive five-part program that provides training and practical guidance on data analytics. The bundle includes five sequential certificate programs:
- Data Analytics Core Concepts Certificate – This certificate program provides an essential guide to the core concepts used in data analytics. It explains how these can be applied when identifying, establishing, and implementing a data analytics project in your organization.
- Application of Data Analysis Essentials Certificate – This intermediate certificate offers hands-on experience regarding how to analyze data and calculate fundamental aspects of your data sets and provides the core concepts and definitions of data analytics.
- Data Analytics Modeling Certificate – This certificate will expand your ability to work with structured and unstructured data to drive a successful analytics practice.
- Forecasting and Predictive Analytics Certificate – This certificate will teach you fundamental techniques used for predictive analytics: regression, classification, clustering, optimization, and simulation.
- Data Visualization Certificate – This certificate will teach you fundamental visualization techniques and explore a sampling of the most common reporting tools for producing meaningful visualizations.
By purchasing the bundle, you save up to $800 versus buying the certificates individually.
Note: It is recommended that you complete each certificate in sequential order as the content presented in each certificate builds on training in previous certificates.
Learning Labs: Bonus simulated learning labs with step-by-step guidance expose you to the tools needed to implement an analytics practice and equip you to deploy those tools. Labs are included with all the certificates except the Data Analytics Core Concepts Certificate.
Digital Badge: On completion of each certificate, you will receive a digital badge to share with your online professional network. The badge is also available as a downloadable PDF certificate suitable for printing and framing.
