Our Promise

Teaching our students is our job and we are committed to it. If you have any questions about the course content, practice sheet, or anything related to any topic, you can always post a question in the course or send us a direct message.

Download Practice files, take Quizzes, and complete Assignments

With each lecture, there are class notes attached for you to follow along. You can also take quizzes to check your understanding of concepts like Data Analytics in MS Excel, SQL, and Python. Each section contains a practice assignment for you to practically implement your learning on Data Analytics.

What is covered in this course?

The analysis of data is not the main crux of analytics. It is the interpretation that helps provide insights after the application of analytical techniques that makes analytics such an important discipline. We have used the most popular analytics software tools which are MS Excel, SQL, and Python. This will aid the students who have no prior coding background to learn and implement Analytics and Machine Learning concepts to actually solve real-world problems of Data Analysis.

Let me give you a brief overview of the course

  • Part 1 - Excel for data analytics

In the first section, i.e. Excel for data analytics, we will learn how to use excel for data-related operations such as calculating, transforming, matching, filtering, sorting, and aggregating data.

We will also cover how to use different types of charts to visualize the data and discover hidden data patterns.

  • Part 2 - SQL for data analytics

IN the second section, i.e. SQL for data analytics, we will be teaching you everything in SQL that you will need for Data analysis in businesses. We will start with basic data operations like creating a table, retrieving data from a table etc. Later on, we will learn advanced topics like subqueries, Joins, data aggregation, and pattern matching.

  • Part 3 - Preprocessing Data for ML models

In this section, you will learn what actions you need to take step by step to get the data and then prepare it for analysis, these steps are very important. We start with understanding the importance of business knowledge then we will see how to do data exploration. We learn how to do univariate analysis and bivariate analysis then we cover topics like outlier treatment, missing value imputation, variable transformation, and correlation.

  • Part 4 - Linear regression model for predicting metrics

This section starts with simple linear regression and then covers multiple linear regression.

We have covered the basic theory behind each concept without getting too mathematical about it so that you understand where the concept is coming from and how it is important. But even if you don't understand it, it will be okay as long as you learn how to run and interpret the result as taught in the practical lectures.

I am pretty confident that the course will give you the necessary knowledge on Data Analysis, and the skillsets of a Data Analyst to immediately see practical benefits in your workplace.

You take time to teach details. I believe it is the choice for people without experience in data analysis.

According to the information provided in this video, so far so good. The lecturers started by going over the fundamentals of formulas, data formats, and data processing. The only thing I would ask is that you provide shortcuts for each function you use when describing it in Excel. This would help us all become better time managers.
Arulselvan

So far in Excel, they explain everything from basics. While explaining all the functions in excel, if their respective shortcuts are told simultaneously it'll be really useful but it is missing. Overall, this is Good.

In Section 15: Fundamental SQL Statements, the organization of the material is confusing. The exercises are all out of place compared to the instructional videos. This caused some confusion for me as a student.

Its a good match, it teaches the things i need, i however find it difficult to follow as the language isn't clear enough so I am reading captions when i should be focused on the formula, how and where he uses them.

So it is good revision for me, as i know all the content that we covered so far but it's been well presented

Appreciate the pace of the course. As a student of this course with no background. This course is very insightful. I'll definitely recommend to colleagues.

It is nice to learn excel again for a new prospective after having done some basics in school long back. Looking forward for a happy learning

Quite slow and very basic level. Need not have to go such deep into basics as most them will be aware of basics of excel.
Richelle

It's pretty basic for me in the beginning but that will pass soon. I like it that it is useful for new users.
Mona

I like this course very much. The videos are short and simple but also you really have to think to understand, other wise you won't learn. Up til almost middle of the course the exercises were ok to do alone and to understand, sometimes they take time and it's ok, anything for learning. Tho I would like there to be more "simple" exercises to catch up what we learned in the video. The course is getting harder and so it would be beneficial to understand better what needs to be done and how to write in the query. All in all, I like it very much and I have learned a lot!
