Programme Overview
The Data-Driven Professional Programme is a 12-month programme (+ End Point Assessment), designed for data users and professionals from a variety of corporate functions.
The collaboration between Imperial College Business School and Corndel combines academic excellence with personalised coaching, providing a unique blend of business school thinking and practical skills. Join us for a transformative journey, integrating world-class education with tailored mentoring through Corndel's renowned coaching model.
Who is the Programme for?
Our programme is designed for people whose roles would benefit from building confidence in understanding organisational data and using that information to inform decision making. Typically, individuals are likely to use tools like Excel, or business intelligence systems such as Tableau and Power BI, to identify trends and relationships. No prior experience in data manipulation or interrogation of large datasets is expected or required.
Please note that our application process is geared towards organisations rather than individuals. We encourage you to connect with your HR Director or Learning and Development lead to explore the possibilities of using the apprenticeship levy to enrol in one of our programmes as part of a cohort. Through collaboration with key stakeholders, we aim to create a shared learning journey that aligns with your organisation's objectives, fostering growth for both the organisation and individual.
