Frequently Asked Questions
About Advanced Data Analysis & Dashboard Reporting Training
It runs over ten days because it covers the full pipeline, from raw, messy data through analysis to finished, interactive dashboards, and each stage is practised rather than described. You leave having built reporting end to end, not having watched someone else do it.
You work through data wrangling and quality, handling missing and inconsistent data, and structuring data into a sound model, including the dimensional, star-schema style of modelling that makes reporting fast and reliable, alongside querying data with structured query language.
The course covers descriptive statistics, the basics of inferential statistics, and relationships in data such as correlation and introductory regression, so your analysis is grounded in sound method rather than eyeballing charts.
You build interactive dashboards in leading business-intelligence tools, working with their modelling and calculation languages, and use advanced spreadsheet techniques, so the skills apply whatever platform your organisation has standardised on.
The course covers choosing the right chart for the question, visual-design principles that aid rather than mislead, and building a narrative, so a dashboard drives a decision instead of merely displaying numbers.
No deep prior experience is required, since the course builds from fundamentals, though comfort with spreadsheets helps. It suits both newer analysts and experienced staff who want a structured, current toolkit.
It suits data analysts and reporting staff, business and finance analysts, managers who rely on data, and publicsector and corporate professionals who need to analyse data and build dashboards.
You will be able to prepare and analyse data, apply analytical and statistical techniques, design clear visualisations, build interactive dashboards, and present data as actionable insight. It runs as a live online cohort and in person in cities such as Nairobi, Lagos, Accra, Kigali and Dubai, with a Certificate of Completion and post-training support, and can be delivered in-house for data and reporting teams across Africa.
