Course Summary: Data Analytics

Our Data Analytics evening course is an 6 week course, and it does not require any prior programming experience.

Data Analytics is the art of understanding and processing data with the goal of drawing conclusions about that data. In the "old days" data was limited, so it is easy to process data on books using hand calculations. But as the data sets becomes large we need sophisticated tools to process them.

Data Analysts mine huge data sets using complex software such as UNIX, Excel, SQL and Python. In this course you will not only learn how to master the necessary skills to process the data sets using the aforementioned tools but also develop an intuition to derive conclusions about given problem.

Data Analytics is a mix of Computer Science (C), Statistics (S), & Management Skills (M).
