A Beginner's Guide to Data Visualisation

Data visualisation may be used to your data regardless of industry or sector, as it can assist in recognising which areas need to be improved, which aspects impact consumer satisfaction and dissatisfaction, and what to do with certain products. Data visualisation, as a key phase in the business intelligence process, takes raw data, models it, and distributes it so that conclusions may be drawn.

This hands-on and practical data visualisation online course aims to provide you a comprehensive yet practical understanding of the complete analytics value chain, with a particular emphasis on displaying data to convey the correct message to an audience. Throughout the course, students will work on a series of projects designed to help them practice and apply the concepts they have learned. By the end of the course, students will have developed a strong foundation in data visualization that they can use to present insights and tell compelling stories with data, whether for professional or personal purposes.

* Learners should have an internet-enabled laptop with Microsoft Excel version 2016 or later preinstalled and comfortable with performing multiple tasks on Excel when attending this course.
