Professional Certificate in Data Literacy for Non-Data Scientists

Programme Objectives

Regardless of job function, in the era of big data, we must all learn the language of data. Acquiring data might be easy in a digitized, networked society, but until you can make sense of them, they remain mere bits and bytes in storage. The ability to read, analyze, and understand data places you in an advantageous position. Data literacy enables you to draw insights and guide decision-making. Gut feelings can now be supported and informed by data. Additionally, the ability to communicate complicated data insights in clear visual form lends persuasive heft to your arguments.

The programs in this professional certificate introduce the new language of data, data management know-how, and tools you can use to analyze data and communicate information visually. You will advance to learning prescriptive and predictive analytics techniques that lead to more precise demand forecasting. Data is ubiquitous and ready to be tapped into. Equip yourself with the skills to leverage this invaluable resource.
