DO CANCELLED COURSES DRIVE YOU TO THE BOILING POINT?

Of course they do. It’s as bad as

spilling concentrated H2SO4 on your

favourite pants. The thing is, courses

that don’t meet the minimum number

of participants get cancelled. That’s

why we encourage you to register early.

Cancellation decisions are usually made

two weeks before the course starts, so

it’s a good idea to register before then.

TURN DATA INTO KNOWLEDGE

Add one of the most sought-after skills in the workplace to your portfolio: data analysis. Companies have never had access to so much data, but surprisingly, it is rare for companies to have someone with the ability to analyze that data to see trends and make predictions. You can be this person.

WHO IS THE AWARD OF ACHIEVEMENT IN DATA ANALYSIS FOR?• Employees and managers in large companies who need

to leverage data analysis for anticipating trends and making critical business decisions.

• Professionals hoping to level up in a current role or change careers.

• Digital Marketers, required to understand what resonates with users and communicate with business stakeholders.

• Small-business owners who want to make decisions based on meaningful data.

• Product Managers who need to rely on user data to determine new features, improvements and changes.

THE PROGRAM

There are three online courses and one Capstone Project that must to be completed in order to receive the Award of Achievement. The Capstone Project is completed under the guidance of an instructor. If you opt to take the three courses only, you won’t receive an Award of Achievement, but will receive a certificate as acknowledgement you have completed the three courses.

THE COURSES

Each course (not including Capstone Project) is delivered 100% online, and each is one month in duration:• Introduction to Data Analysis (p 8)• Intermediate Data Analysis (p 8)• Advanced Data Analysis (p 8)• Data Analysis Capstone Project*

*DATA ANALYSIS CAPSTONE PROJECT

The Capstone Project is a mandatory component of the Award in Achievement in Data Analysis. The pro-ject is pre-approved and evaluated by the instructor and is typically completed in four to six weeks.

WHAT IS THE CAPSTONE PROJECT?• Guidance and coaching from an experienced

instructor

• An opportunity to apply skills learned in course work

• A project in data analysis defined by you, for your own or for another organization with support

WHY A CAPSTONE PROJECT?• Apply the skills you learned in class to a real-world,

practical experience of your choice

• Show them you did it! There is nothing as powerful as proof that you have worked on a real world problem for a real organization. Skills + experience = a strong resume builder.

• Do it even better! Get coaching and feedback on a data project that you were going to do anyway.

Some Words from the Taxman

Courses designed primarily for

recreational or general interest

purposes are subject to applicable

taxes.

AVOID CANCELLATIONS — REGISTER EARLYCourses that don’t meet the minimum number of participants get

cancelled. That’s why we encourage you to register early. Course

cancellation decisions are usually made two weeks before the

course starts, so it’s a good idea to register before then.

We’ve moved! We are now located in the

Arbutus Building, room

AR106. See map on the right.
