Primary Tool
The Visualisation Course
Built for BI Careers
Not just Tableau tutorials. A complete visualisation skill set built over eight weeks of structured, applied practice.
Tableau + SQL Together
Most Tableau courses skip SQL entirely. Ours dedicates two full weeks to SQL so you can query your own data — the skill that makes you a senior analyst, not just a dashboard builder.
Real African Business Data
Every dashboard project uses real, anonymised data from Nigerian, Kenyan, and Ghanaian businesses — so your portfolio demonstrates local market understanding.
Portfolio on Tableau Public
You finish the course with a live Tableau Public portfolio — free, publicly accessible, and directly shareable with employers. No fee, no software required.
Multi-Tool Competency
Beyond Tableau, you gain working knowledge of Power BI, Excel dashboards, and Google Sheets — making you versatile across any analytics environment.

BI Analysts Teaching

- Alumni network and hiring partner connections
4 Modules.
One Portfolio.
From first chart to an executive dashboard portfolio — in 8 structured, project-led weeks.
Build a solid foundation in data visualisation principles — learn how to choose the right chart, avoid misleading visuals, and communicate data clearly before touching Tableau.
Move from single charts to multi-view dashboards. Learn Tableau's calculated fields, filters, parameters, and interactive actions that make dashboards executives actually use.
Learn SQL to extract, filter, and aggregate data from databases before bringing it into Tableau — the skill that separates intermediate from senior analysts.
Extend your skills across the full business intelligence toolkit — Power BI for enterprise reporting, Excel for quick analysis, and Google Sheets for collaborative data work.
What Makes
Us Different
Eight weeks of applied visualisation — not just Tableau clicks, but the full BI skill set that makes dashboards matter.
SQL Included — Not Optional
Two full weeks of SQL mean you can connect to databases, write your own queries, and bring data into Tableau without depending on a data engineer.
Live Dashboard Critiques
Senior BI analysts critique your dashboards live in cohort — the same way design reviews work at top analytics teams. You improve fast.
12-Month Access
Your recordings, project templates, and resource library remain accessible for 12 months after graduation — your personal BI reference library.
Multi-Tool Versatility
Power BI, Excel, and Google Sheets are all covered — so you leave ready for any BI environment, not just Tableau-specific roles.

“Within three weeks I was building dashboards that our regional managers now use every Monday. The progression from single charts to full interactive dashboards is brilliantly designed.”
Adaora Ike
BI Analyst @ Access Bank
“The SQL weeks were a game-changer. I always felt like I was 'just a Tableau person' — now I can query the database directly and build my own data sources. Completely different level.”
Kingsley Okafor
Data Analyst, Lagos
“I got three client projects within a month of finishing this course. My Tableau Public portfolio was the first thing every client asked to see — and it closed the deal every time.”
Nana Owusu
Analytics Consultant, Accra
“The Power BI week gave me the confidence to work across both tools. I can now walk into any company and handle whatever BI platform they use. That flexibility is invaluable.”
Damilola Adesanya
Operations Analyst, Nairobi
“Eight weeks is exactly the right length for this level of depth. By week four I felt genuinely capable. By week eight I had a portfolio I was proud to show every recruiter I met.”
Chinonso Eze
Business Intelligence Lead, Abuja
“The real-world African datasets made all the difference. I was analysing Nigerian retail and fintech data — not abstract toy examples — from week one. That context changes everything.”

Our admissions team is happy to help you make the right decision.
Email AdmissionsNo prior experience is needed. The course starts from absolute basics — connecting data, understanding chart types, and navigating the Tableau interface. If you can use Excel, you are ready to start.
We use Tableau Desktop (free 14-day trial available) and Tableau Public (permanently free). All dashboards you build can be published to Tableau Public as a free portfolio that employers can view directly.
The Data Analysis Diploma covers Excel, SQL, Tableau, Power BI, and Python in 12 weeks — giving you breadth across all tools. This 8-week course goes much deeper into Tableau specifically, with more dashboard projects, advanced techniques, and a stronger focus on data storytelling. Many students take this course to deepen their Tableau skills after the Diploma.
Yes. Weeks 5–6 cover SQL fundamentals — SELECT, WHERE, GROUP BY, JOINs, and CTEs — specifically in the context of preparing data for Tableau dashboards. You will also learn how to connect Tableau directly to SQL databases.
In weeks 7–8 you build a multi-tool executive dashboard project using real African business data. You must combine SQL-prepared data, Tableau visualisations, and at least one supporting tool (Power BI or Excel). Instructors provide detailed feedback on your work.
Absolutely. Tableau Public is free and lets you publish fully interactive dashboards that employers can view without needing a Tableau license. Most employers expect to see a Tableau Public profile — and graduates of this course consistently have strong ones.
Yes. We offer an 80% scholarship to qualifying applicants — you pay only 20% as a registration fee. Apply via our scholarship page and our admissions team will review your application within 5 business days.
