data analysts
The need for data science and analytics skills is growing rapidly for a wide range of professions in all sectors. Our Data Science series will provide you with the knowledge and skills needed to perform data analysis tasks.
This three-course series covers topics such as probability and data distributions, descriptive and inferential statistics, multivariate statistical tools, and R Language. All courses will be introductory, with the aim to demystify programming language and statistics, and have a focus on understanding rather than simply applying concepts and tools.
This series is comprised of three three-day courses, each of them designed to stand alone in providing specific data science skills. Courses can also be taken together to provide students with a comprehensive data science skill set.
No prerequisites or entrance requirements
