Classes start. Learn how to manage and manipulate data. In this module we’ll cover key tools and technologies including R and the Tidyverse, SQL, data cleaning and wrangling, ethics, version control and reproducibility, finishing with a presentation on data ethics and a project.
In this solo project, you’ll work like a real-life data analyst and clean some messy data sets.
We’ll use ggplot2 and Tableau to create visualisations, communicating data. Time for some statistics and specialist topics including time series and spatial analysis.
We’ll go a little deeper with the basics of hypothesis testing, probability, and simple regression models.
Time for group work. Build a data dashboard using R shiny.
You’re here for your career. That’s why we run a series of classes and workshops to give you the knowledge and confidence to pitch your new skills to employers. Time to stand out on your CV, LinkedIn, portfolio, job applications and in interviews.
