Learn how to use code to read, change and rearrange data
Data is everywhere. It powers business decisions, keeps us informed and helps us to form our opinions. The data industry is fast growing and there is a need in every company for people who understand and can manipulate data.
Over a period of 30 hours you will learn how to:
read data from a range of sources (from Excel files, CSV files, databases or from online sources such as APIs)
remove bad data (null values, incorrect types of data, data that is easily identifiable as wrong or unexpected)
sort, group, filter data
save data in files or a database
help ensure the security of the data
create visual representations of the data (charts, timelines, etc)
complete a small real-life project using the skills you have gained
This course is aimed at beginners and is part-time over 5 weeks. The course times are designed to work around school / work / family commitments.
You will find this course much more achievable if you already know some basic Python concepts (e.g. using variables, operators, selection, repetition, functions and data structures). If you don't already know these, we recommend that you take our Introduction to python course first.
