What you'll learn
Understand what data work really involves
Before tools like SQL and Power BI, it helps to know what the job is. This course explains how companies use data, the roles around it, and the questions analysts are paid to answer.
Data across industries
How finance, tech, retail, FMCG, marketing and HR use analytics — and why companies are moving from Excel to BI tools.
How your data is collected
IP tracking, device information, browser fingerprinting and cookies — and why data is called the new oil, with Netflix as the example.
Job roles in data
Business analyst, data analyst, data engineer, data scientist and database administrator — what each does and how they work together.
What a data analyst does
The five core tasks: preparing, modelling, visualising, analysing and managing data — and why preparation takes the most time.
The four types of analysis
Descriptive, diagnostic, predictive and prescriptive — which question each answers, with examples.
Why it's free
We built this to be learned from, not sold.
A lot of people who need a skill like this are exactly the people least able to pay for it — students between semesters, freshers before a first job, anyone rebuilding after a break. So we took the fee off.
01
The whole course, not a preview
Every lesson is open from the start. There's no locked second half and no upgrade waiting three modules in.
02
Free because it should be, not for a window
This isn't a promotional price or a trial. There's no clock on it and no fee arriving later.
03
Built to the same standard as the rest
Nothing was trimmed to make it free. It is the same material, at the same depth, as everything else we teach.
04
Yours to keep
Come back to a lesson next month or next year. Access doesn't expire and nothing gets pulled behind a paywall.
