Who it’s for

For people who already have the questions

Most of our students work next to data, not in it: operations, support, marketing, public services.

It’s for you if

  • you export spreadsheets every week and wish they answered themselves
  • your team asks “is this working?” and nobody can say
  • you can give six focused hours a week for twelve weeks

It’s not for you if

  • you want machine learning or AI engineering; we stop at statistics
  • you already write window functions for fun
  • you need a certificate more than a portfolio

Capstones from the autumn cohort

Real data, one clear answer

  • 62,400 rowsSQL · Sheets

    Why are Thursday deliveries late?

    Late deliveries cluster on one depot’s second shift; moving 40 parcels to the morning run cut delays by 23%.

    Defne K., logistics coordinator → junior analyst

  • 188,000 rowsSQL · pandas

    Which trial users stay?

    Users who invite one teammate in week one retain at 3.1× the rate; the onboarding email now asks for it.

    Kerem A., customer support lead

  • 9,800 rowspandas · charts

    Is the library busier after the redesign?

    Visits rose 11%, but only on weekday evenings; weekend numbers are within normal variation.

FAQ

Before you apply

Do I need to know how to code?

No. Week one starts in a spreadsheet; SQL starts in week three and Python in week seven. You need to be comfortable with percentages.

What if I miss a live session?

Every session is recorded and posted within two hours. Labs have a seven-day window, so one busy week will not set you back.

Which tools do you use?

Google Sheets, PostgreSQL in the browser and Python notebooks. Everything runs online; a laptop from the last six years is enough.

Is there a certificate?

Yes, with your capstone linked from it. Employers have told us the capstone is the part they read.

Can my employer pay?

Yes. We issue an invoice to your company after your call; for five or more people, see the Teams plan.
