DATA ANALYTICS ESSENTIALS TRAINING…
DATA ANALYTICS ESSENTIALS TRAINING PROGRAM TESTIMONIAL - By Madu Ihedioha By way of introduction, I am a Civil Engineer with years of experience in core civil works before crossing over to take roles in Water Agencies Commercial Operations, large scale GIS-based Customer/Infrastructure Enumeration & Design of Non-Revenue Water Reduction Strategies. The new focus areas deal with copious data to be structured & analyzed based on critical metrics for performance monitoring & sustainable operations. The desire to acquire better skills to perform these operations effectively motivated me to go into the Data Analytics Program. I had doubts in my mind regarding the successful completion of the program but since I am accountable to myself, I went ahead & enrolled in the Data Analytics Essentials program with Great Learning and the University of Texas at Austin, McCombs School of Business. But when the program commenced & I saw the intelligent Olympus LMS, the breakdown of the courses [Data Analytics Foundation using MS Excel, SQL, Python & Tableau] into study flow modules, self-explanatory self-paced videos and exciting mentoring classes, I knew then that I was in the right environment for Data Analytics training. As a testimony to the effectiveness of the training, I completed the program with an average score of 85.68% in the four courses and GPA of 3.42. If I can achieve this impressive performance with little ICT knowledge prior to the program, you can do even better. But this is the caveat to the learners, the program is intensive & demanding in terms of time & efforts but I was determined and so I powered through it successfully. I stand today as a confident Data Analyst equipped with strong skills to handle data and solve real world business problems. Huge kudos to the entire Program Office Team for the rock star support and most especially to the Program Manager – Mr. Samuel Morris who blended harmoniously the program policies with empathy, the hallmark of a good manager. #Great Learning #Time to Upskill is now #Time to unleash your potential is now #I have learned #I am better now #The place to learn is Great Learning in partnership with the University of Texas at Austin
