BEFORE YOU BOOK

Is this the right course for you?

This is for you if…

  • You are changing career and want a portfolio, not a single project.
  • You can commit two live sessions a week for twenty-four weeks.
  • You want a named mentor you meet one-to-one every week.

This is not for you if…

  • You already do this job — it will cover ground you have.
  • You need a regulated qualification for visa or professional registration. This is not one.
  • You cannot attend live sessions. The recordings are a backup, not the format.

QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS PROGRAMME

Asked before every Data Analytics + Generative AI cohort

Why are analytics and GenAI taught together?

Because they are now the same job in most teams. The people hiring analysts expect them to build a retrieval assistant over the company’s documents as readily as a dashboard. Splitting them would leave you short on the half you did not take.

Do I need to know how to code before I start?

No. Months one and two assume you have never written a line of code and take you from spreadsheets to SQL. What you do need is to put the practice hours in between sessions — roughly six to eight a week.

How much of the course is the GenAI half?

Roughly a third. Months nine and ten are retrieval and an evaluation harness that proves the system works rather than demos well, and your capstone can be either an analysis or an LLM system.

Can I choose the industry for my capstone?

Yes. Your capstone is shaped around the industry you want to work in — technology, finance, banking, healthcare, hospitality and travel, consulting, retail, or supply chain and operations — with real-world-style data and a portfolio-ready result.

What if I miss a session?

The recording is up the same day and your mentor covers it in your next 1:1. Attendance matters for the certificate — you need 80% across the programme — but a handful of missed sessions will not put that at risk.
