About the Course

Information Technology Specialist logo

Data Analytics is a skill that will future proof your career even with the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) as human intuition will still come into play in every day decision-making or tasks, which is a limitation of the machine.


With the inability of AI to determine or fact check a myriad of information readily available from valid and invalid sources, it takes a human being to countercheck and validate the data and recommendations of the machine. As such, critical thinking and analysis to understand data and context, with the use of Artificial Intelligence will be needed, especially in the coming years.


This 1-day certification program in Data Analytics introduces you to statistical analysis, data analytics, with practical applications and case studies.
