Transform raw data into compelling visual stories — build dashboards that executives and stakeholders actually use and act on.
Build enterprise-grade reports in Power BI — from data modelling and DAX formulas to publishing live dashboards for teams.
An introduction to Python for data work — Pandas for manipulation, Matplotlib for visualisation, and real EDA projects.
Apply every skill in an end-to-end capstone on real African business data, then build your portfolio and prepare for interviews.
What Makes

12-Month Access
Your recordings, project templates, and resource library remain accessible for 12 months after graduation — your personal data reference library.
Python Entry Point
The course includes Python foundations so you leave with a clear path into data science — not just analyst roles. A genuine differentiator.
