Data Analytics Certification FAQs
-
What is the difference between data analytics and data science?

BrainStation's Data Analytics course is a beginner-friendly data course, with a focus on descriptive analytics, industry-standard tools, and software. The Data Science course, on the other hand, can be considered more of an intermediate-level data science course, as it is more technically demanding, diving further into prescriptive and predictive analytics, machine learning, and programming languages.

Data Analytics Basics
What Can I Learn in a Data Analytics Course?
In a data analytics course, you can learn the fundamentals of manipulating and analysing data, how to leverage data analysis tools and statistical analysis skills to make actionable data-driven predictions, and how to use visualisation tools to present and communicate your findings in compelling data visualisations.
A good data analytics certification course should first impart the most crucial and foundational aspects of data analysis and data management, including data wrangling, data modelling, data processing, and data manipulation techniques, while also developing your programming skills with SQL, an essential programming language for data analysis.
From there, students in a data analytics programme should master the art of storytelling with data visualisations, learning how to create effective dashboards that will help a broad audience not only visualise data, but understand how data insights can play into business decisions.
