A data analyst course built on real business data
SQL, Excel, pivot tables and Power BI, practised hands-on with the data of a UK wholesaler, plus portfolio projects to show what you can do. Build the skills employers ask for, one step at a time.
Step 1 is open now. Steps 2 to 4 are being built: we'll say when they open, honestly.

Questions
Will the path get me a job as a data analyst?
We can't promise that, and we'd be wary of anyone who does. What we do promise: you'll practise the skills employers ask for in data analyst job adverts, on realistic business data, and finish with portfolio projects you can show.
Do I need any experience?
No. The path starts from the very beginning and is written for people who work with numbers, not code: analysts, finance, operations, marketing and small-business owners.
What can I do today?
Start step 1, SQL for Business. Tier 1 is free with no sign-up; Pro (£9.99 a month) opens the rest of the course, the milestone exams and certificates.
What's the founding-member price?
The full path will be £19 a month or £149 a year, kept for as long as you stay a member if you join early. It opens to the waiting list first, and we won't charge the full path price until at least two steps are live.
