Testimonials

Learning how to use Tableau for visualisation purposes, as well as basic Excel functions such as vlookup, were most useful as I need them in my current area of work.

,

It was beneficial to learn how to present better to stakeholders using data and analytics. The shared recordings were particularly important for me.

,

It was particularly useful learning about the different Excel shortcuts and applications as they are very useful for filtering data. Tableau is also very effective in creating aesthetically pleasing charts and interactive charts that allow for easy viewing.
