IIBA Endorsed Certified Data Analyst

Program Overview

Business data analytics sits between business analysis and data science: it starts with a well-framed business question and ends with results that change a decision. This programme follows that lifecycle as described in IIBA guidance: identifying research questions, sourcing and preparing data, analysing it with suitable statistical techniques, interpreting and reporting results, and using them to influence decisions, together with the organisational strategy that sustains analytics. Case work draws on banking, government services and energy settings in the Gulf.
