Business Analytics with SQL and Python

Business analytics is the process in which data is obtained, cleaned, and presented by teams and organisations to drive useful predictions and insights. This course focuses on two ways that businesses do this — SQL where you will learn to write queries to extract data from a database, and Python, the ubiquitous programming language that enables data analysis, manipulation and predictions. 

With the opportunity to work on your own data set, or with a data set provided, now’s the perfect time to roll up your sleeves and get hands on with SQL and Python. Develop critical skills in wrangling, exploring, analysing and effectively communicating data, to enhance your professional value and stand out in the competitive job market.

Our Business Analytics with SQL and Python course is ideal for:

• Professionals looking to develop their analytics skillset to increase their value and employability
• Professionals looking to accelerate their careers or transition into a data focused role

By the end of this course you'll be able to: 

• Utilise SQL and Python to drive powerful analysis and predictions for business 
• Assess and implement data modelling, forecasting and classification using introductory level SQL and Python functions 
• Build and apply a simple data analytics model to solve a defined business problem.

Upon completing this course, you'll be able to collect and analyse data with SQL, forecast business scenarios, and communicate your findings with Python. 

In your final project, you will develop data insights based on a specific business question using either a supplied dataset or your own as reviewed by your mentor.
