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:

• Data Foundations & ExcelCollect, clean, and analyze data in Excel, using AI to accelerate data cleaning and preparation.
• Databases & SQLQuery and manage data with MySQL, using AI to help write and optimize queries.
• Visualization & StorytellingBuild dashboards and presentations in Tableau, using AI to support reporting and communicate insights with clarity.

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 visualization, 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 visualization 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 formalize 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).
