Overview
The Imperial and Corndel Data-Driven Professional Programme is one of four Data Academy courses designed to equip staff with the digital skills and technical proficiency needed to succeed in their current work roles.
This programme is for individuals who use tools like Excel regularly, are responsible for reporting and decision-making, and want to feel more confident handling and presenting data. Delivered over fourteen months, the course will help you better understand the data you have access to in your role, validate and interrogate information, and make more informed decisions. Key themes include:
- Handling data safely and securely
- Improving data quality
- Creating visualisations and communicating data insights
- Automating manual, repetitive tasks to increase efficiency
- Microsoft Excel, Power BI, and advanced spreadsheet skills
- Data analytics tools
Delivery will include twelve hands-on group workshops with a data science expert, monthly 1-1 sessions with a coach, guided self-learning, and bite-sized practical projects.
You will also attend a masterclass programme delivered by Imperial academics from Executive Education and the Department of Computing on themes such as digital health innovation, cybersecurity, and ethics in data science. As such, this course is a unique opportunity to access leading-edge thinking in data science and technology.
tabs
The programme is open to eligible Imperial staff from any job family or level who would like to develop data skills to support their work.
Learners should be regular users of Excel, work with datasets, and work in a role that requires them to analyse/report on data.
However, your primary role will not be manipulating and interrogating large amounts of data (staff in specialist data roles might wish to consider our Data Analyst or Data Engineer Programmes).
