Learn live
Ask questions in the moment, answer live knowledge checks and work through difficult concepts with the trainer rather than learning alone.
● 10-WEEK LIVE ONLINE PROGRAMME
Don't just learn the tools. Learn to think like a Data Analyst.
A practical 10-week programme that teaches you how to turn business questions into trustworthy analysis using Excel, SQL and Power BI. Work with realistic data, build projects you can explain confidently, and practise live with guided support.

Why this programme is different
This is not a "watch videos and hope" course.
The programme is built around live explanation, realistic business problems and work you can actually show and discuss.
Work with realistic data
Follow one fictional company, Harbourline Supplies, across Excel, SQL and Power BI instead of jumping between unrelated toy datasets.
Build evidence of what you can do
Complete Excel, SQL, Power BI and capstone work that demonstrates your thinking, not simply your ability to follow instructions.
The analytical journey
Follow one business from question to recommendation.
You will return to Harbourline Supplies throughout the programme, seeing how the same business question evolves across different analytical tools.

Guided workbooks, not passive notes
Each workbook turns the live lesson into an activity. Week 1 starts with analytical thinking before the first dataset is introduced in Week 2.

The core programme includes a minimum of 20 hours of live instructor-led training across 10 weeks. Guest industry conversations may provide additional live learning time where scheduled.
You will need Microsoft Excel through Microsoft 365 (some functions we use are not in Excel 2021 or earlier), Power BI Desktop and a reliable internet connection. Power BI Desktop runs on Windows only, so if you use a Mac you will need access to a Windows computer or a Windows cloud PC for the Power BI weeks. Power BI Desktop and SQL Server Express are free, and setup guidance is provided before each module. If you are unsure whether your computer will work, email the training team before you enrol and we will check with you.
Every live session is recorded and shared with enrolled learners, so you can catch up on anything you miss. Live attendance still counts towards the Certificate of Completion, which normally requires attending at least 80% of live sessions. See the training terms for full details.
Allow two hours for the live class plus approximately two to four hours for practice, exercises and project work where possible.
No. The programme develops skills, practical evidence, portfolio material and career readiness, but employment, promotion, interview success or salary outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
