About This Class

These days, data analysts are in high demand. That’s probably because it’s estimated that 90% of today’s data was generated in the last two years…. That’s a lot to analyse.

If you’re thinking about adding data skills to your professional toolkit, or looking for a whole new career in data, this free class is a great starting point.

Join us in this 2 hours class to get hands-on practice with the basics of data analytics and see if you’ve got what it takes to become a data analyst.

You’ll learn how to ask the right questions of your data and use basic analytic functionality in Google Sheets. Then, apply your new found analytics skills to a real-world dataset and develop recommendations based on your findings.

Takeaways

An understanding of what data is and how it’s used.

Basic Google Sheets formulas and functions.

Hands-on practice with Pivot Tables.

Confidence to continue practising your analytics skills.

Bonus: there will be time at the end for a live Q&A with the instructor.

Preparation

This is a beginner friendly series, so no prior knowledge is necessary.

This session will be held in Google Meet, so your mic and camera will be off. We’ll interact through the Chat, Q&A, and reactions.
