Become an advanced Python data wrangler

Python has grown to be one of the most popular general-purpose languages in the computing domain with heavy implementation in back-end development, software development and data science among other things. Being an open-source high level programming language with the support of high-quality libraries, it is one of the go-to tools for any data practitioner. With libraries like Pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn and others, it makes Python the perfect choice for any data-related activities. This course teaches students data manipulation, cleansing and preparation techniques for data analytics and business intelligence in Python.

Tell stories through visualizations with Tableau

Nothing leaves a more impactful impression of a story than visuals. With the data that you will be using in Tableau, you are now capable of creating stunning visuals that provide deep insights. This course is designed to gain a thorough understanding of the way Tableau interface works, to design dashboards and automate interactive reports. The course will provide a framework behind those reports to get the message across effectively from a visual perspective.

Tell stories through visualizations with PowerBI

Adding to Microsoft’s list of business power tools, Power BI is a relatively new joiner in the domain but has been widely adopted in a short amount of time by many businesses. It is a business analytics service that aims to provide interactive visualizations and business intelligence capabilities with an interface simple enough for end users to create their own reports and dashboards. Being an all-in-one tool for analytics, it is capable of taking a dataset from cleaning all the way to prediction models and visualizations within a single software package. While other software are analytically amazing and visually stunning, they tend to lack the ETL capabilities as compared to what Power BI offers with its two powerful engines under the hood: Query Editor and Data Model. Data has to be clean and ready for Tableau and real data is always messy. Arguably, Power BI combines the ETL aspects of Alteryx while retaining the EDA (exploratory data analysis) functionalities of Tableau.

Use Query Editor to connect to hundred data sources and clean up data.
Use Data Model to build relationships between tables and data analysis expressions (DAX)
Put together a self-service BI without having to depend on IT
Provide business with a 360° view of how business is doing and where it is going
Project 1: Neighbourhood Rating Tool
Project 2: Supply Chain dashboard
Project 3: Retail dashboard

Gain knowledge and experience in different industries

Data skills are transferrable from industry to industry. However, the knowledge and experience of dealing with different kinds of data and business scenarios are what separate Senior DA from Junior DA. To stand out in the job market, career switchers will need to demonstrate extra knowledge and experience and impress hiring managers in the interviews with business knowledge. In this program, instructors from different industries will teach 8 use cases. It is like a mini-MBA but much more hands-on and data-driven.

student stories

Success Stories

I learned about WeCloudData through a friend who took the Data Analytics Bootcamp and spoke highly of it. Because the contents are analytical and technical in nature, I decided to give it a try. It turns out to be a wonderful choice. The projects we completed in the bootcamp helped tremendously in my interviews. My previous work experience had few applicable stories, but I was able to leverage the projects I did at WeCloudData as examples to show the employer that I have used these skills in a real-world-like environment, I do have the skills and I am the right fit.
