What our learners say

We prepare our learners to apply their new insights immediately to drive tangible business outcomes.

Only a couple of months ago, I thought I hated data, charts and analytics. Because of Data Literacy Academy's classes, I now want to pursue a career in this field. The enthusiasm and knowledge of the educators have been impressive.
Bentley Learner
As data professionals, we spend so much time presenting data in pretty formats without getting into the “why”. This module helped me reflect on these questions to enable me to work with that foresight piece more going forward.
Aston University Learner
I took KPIs from our department and used the data storytelling cards to structure and present the information effectively.
It allowed me to showcase how the Academy's teachings can be applied practically.
Sony Music Publishing Learner
I’m very much enjoying the programme and you wouldn’t believe the amount of times I am using the phrase “data guided decisions” these days!
Coventry Building Society Learner
I have signed up to an L3 Data Citizen apprenticeship since taking up the Academy, so attending the sessions and learning about data has really inspired me to learn more.

The Power BI module was a game-changer for me. During a 1:1 meeting, my manager expressed a need for a performance dashboard. I realised that this was a perfect opportunity to apply the skills I had learned.
Sony Music Publishing Learner
Great start to the year receiving my certification. I enjoyed learning about interactive dashboard creation, data visualisation in Power BI and strategies for effective storytelling and communication. I won’t lie, the SQL element was outside my comfort zone. End result, I’ve learned a great deal and certainly enhanced my data literacy!
