Your first 12 weeks

You will get hands-on with SQL, Python, data loading processes, cloud data platforms, business intelligence tools, agile delivery, and AI integrations. You will learn how data is ingested, cleaned, modelled, governed, checked, and used.

• Data Engineer: build pipelines that move data between systems.
• Cloud Data Engineer: prepare cloud data for reporting, analytics, or AI teams.
• Data Governance Analyst: help define ownership, quality rules, catalogues, and classifications.
• Data Quality Analyst: check data, trace issues, and work with teams to fix them.
• Business Intelligence Developer: build dashboards and reports that help people act on data.

Where it leads: As you build experience, your path can open into data engineering, cloud data, data architecture, and governance.
