Course Overview
Every business collects data, and few people can turn it into decisions. This programme takes you from your first spreadsheet to a working dashboard. You will clean messy data, answer questions with Excel and SQL, build a Power BI dashboard and explain your findings to a manager. Every week uses the same case: Bolanle Fresh Market, a fictional chain of supermarkets in Lagos and Ibadan.
Starts October 31st
Duration: 8 weeks · Self-paced lessons in the week, live classes at weekends on Google Meet, a lab every week, and a final exam.
