Bespoke Training: Effective Data Analytics
Gain Insight and Improve Decision Making through Data
Overview
The public sector holds large volumes of data, from patient records to local government data. Access to such huge volumes of information gives your organisation an excellent opportunity to utilise data to make more effective decisions, improve service delivery and enhance efficiency.
Data analytics is also a cost-effective method to make sense of your organisation’s data, which can help drive performance and productivity.
This Effective Data Analytics course that can be completely bespoke to your staff’s needs, gives delegates the necessary training in data analytics.
Through interactive workshops, delegates will have an opportunity to practice data analytics on their own datasets. They will also learn how to use free and accessible data analytics tools like Power BI Desktop, Custom Vision Service and R, a programming language.
