As you work toward your AI Data Analytics certification, you'll discover how to assess data quality, perform data cleaning in Excel, and leverage AI alongside core formulas to analyse datasets.
Build a strategic approach to data analysis across the full Data Analytics Lifecycle, from framing business questions and collecting and preparing data, to analysing trends, generating insights, and communicating data-driven recommendations.
High-quality insights start with high-quality data. Learn essential techniques to help you assess data quality, prepare and clean raw data, accelerated by AI.
Take your Microsoft Excel skills to the next level, exploring everything from basic formulas to advanced functions and AI-assisted tools that drive efficient data analysis and uncover meaningful patterns and trends.
Working with larger data sets and performing more complex data analysis requires an understanding of relational databases, schema, and other core data concepts used by Data Analysts. Learn to organise data efficiently, write queries to uncover insights, and perform deeper exploratory analysis across larger datasets. You’ll also explore advanced analysis techniques and AI-supported workflows that help analysts surface insights faster and work more effectively with complex data ecosystems.
Explore how databases are structured and organised to support large-scale analysis. Learn core database concepts including tables, relationships, schemas, and normalisation techniques used by data analysts across industries.

Explore how AI tools can support workflows and advanced analytics. Use natural language prompts to accelerate SQL query generation, summarise findings, uncover patterns, and augment analysis across complex datasets.
In the final unit of BrainStation's AI Data Analytics Certification course, you will focus on distilling complex analytics data into impactful visual narratives. Master the mechanics of Tableau to build interactive dashboards, configure dynamic reporting views, and effectively present your findings to translate raw data numbers into strategic business decisions. You’ll also explore how AI tools can enhance data visualisation, reporting, and presentation workflows to communicate strategic insights.
Use Tableau to transform raw data into clear, impactful visualisations. Explore charts, graphs, filters, parameters, and interactive features that help surface the most important business insights.
Design and develop dynamic dashboards tailored to business needs. Apply best practices in layout, usability, and dynamic dashboard design to create intuitive reporting experiences that help users explore and understand data.
Data tells a story – what happened, what can happen, and what to focus on next. Learn how to capture the attention of a broad audience, how to structure presentations, highlight key findings, and use storytelling techniques to make your insights actionable and memorable for stakeholders.

This course teaches the core, industry-standard data analytics workflow, now enhanced with AI at each step. You will move from foundations to applied analysis across three areas:
No prior experience is required. The course is beginner-friendly and does not assume any coding or data background. You will learn the tools and techniques from the ground up, including how to use AI to make working with data faster and more approachable, regardless of your technical starting point.
You will get hands-on experience with the core data analytics toolkit, including Microsoft Excel, MySQL, and Tableau, and use AI tools like Claude to accelerate data cleaning, query writing, and reporting. You will also use creative tools like Canva to present your findings.
Yes. AI is an accelerator, not a replacement for analytical skill. You will learn the core data analytics fundamentals in depth: data collection and cleaning, SQL and databases, data visualisation, and data storytelling. AI is woven throughout to help you work faster and focus on insight, but the foundational skills remain the core of the course.
You will build a real-world data analysis portfolio project, developed step by step throughout the course. By the end, you will have worked through each stage of the data analysis process, used MySQL and data visualisation tools, and produced a refined presentation that showcases your work, explains your process, and highlights the insights from your analysis.
It's ideal for both. The course is beginner-friendly and requires no prior experience, so it's well suited to anyone looking to move into a data role. For those new to data, it teaches the analytics workflow the right way for the modern, AI-driven job market. For professionals who already work with data, it's an effective way to formalise your skills and add AI to your toolkit.
Classes are taught live by experienced data practitioners who work in roles at top companies (like Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft). They bring real-world experience and actively use AI in their daily analytics work, so you get practical insights into what it takes to get hired and thrive as a data analyst.
The course is a part-time, 8-week programme designed for working professionals. It requires 3 hours of live instruction per week, which you will attend in person at one of our locations in either New York, Toronto, or London, or entirely live online. Students typically spend an additional 2 to 4 hours per week applying what they've learned to their hands-on data analysis project.
Absolutely. Because this course builds practical, in-demand data and AI skills, it qualifies for most corporate Learning & Development budgets. We provide an Employer Sponsorship Package complete with a syllabus breakdown and an expense justification letter to help you pitch the ROI of this course to your manager.
When you enrol, you join a global network of over 40,000 BrainStation certified professionals. At our New York, Toronto, and London locations, you'll have access to networking mixers, industry panel events, and collaborative workspaces, and all learners gain access to our community Slack, where you can connect with peers and instructors and stay in touch after the course ends.
The DAC™ is a globally recognised credential. BrainStation has been a leader in AI and digital skills training since 2012 and has certified over 40,000 professionals globally. Adding this certification to your resume and LinkedIn signals to recruiters that you possess modern, validated data skills.
Don't worry: flexibility is built into the programme. If you need to miss a session, our team will help make sure you're able to catch up with your cohort. Sessions are live, interactive, and hands-on, so it's important to make class attendance a priority.
We want to make upskilling accessible. We offer flexible payment options, including payment plans and partial scholarship opportunities, subject to eligibility. A Learning Advisor can help find the option that works best for you.
Data Analytics involves examining raw data to uncover patterns, trends, and insights that can help guide decision-making. It uses various tools and methods, such as statistical analysis, machine learning, and analysing data techniques, to transform data into actionable information. This process helps organisations optimise their operations, and data analysts play a crucial role in this by interpreting data from diverse sources like big data analytics and structured databases.
Join a network of over 250,000 professionals who are transforming and accelerating their careers through cutting edge tech skills.
